Fvpspack: a Fortran and PVM Package to Compute the Field of Values and Pseudospectra of Large Matric

The eld of values and pseudospectra are tools which yield insight into the spectral behavior of a matrix. For large sparse matrices, both sets can be eeciently computed using a Lanczos type method. Since both computations can be done in a natural parallel way, we have developed a package including Fortran and PVM routines. Experiments show that the PVM codes achieve excellent speed-ups and eeciency.
