381. TRED4: Diagonalization Routine for Virtual Memory Computers

by J. D. McDonald, School of Chemical Science, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801

This routine, TRED4, is a reworked version of the EISPAC routine TRED2, with the order of computations changed so that it works efficiently in virtual memory. The method and results are absolutely identical to TRED2. The user should refer to EISPAC documentation for details.

The order of computation and the method of ordering the elements of the arrays in virtual memory are changed from TRED2 so that the elements are read and written to auxiliary storage sequentially.

The whole matrix must be read and rewritten approximately 4N times (for TRED4 and TQL2 combined) where N is the order of the matrix. At one point, the matrix is reordered in such a manner that it is most convenient to write half of it out to a file (disk or tape). This uses FORTRAN unit number 49 and is scratch work space. If your computer allows it, this can be declared in OPEN and CLOSE statements, as illustrated in the COMMENT cards.

This version is double precision. To change to single precision, remove double precision statement and the D from DABS, DSIGN, and DSQRT, and change 1.D0,0.D0 to 1. and 0. respectively.

You must use the appropriate version of TQL2 to complete the calculations of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. TQL2 does not need modification for virtual memory.
