Andreas J Reichel

Andreas Josef Reichel was born in 1982 in Munich, Bavaria, to Josef and Ursula. He went to an elementary school from 1989 to 1993 and continued with lower secondary education for 4 years and started with middle school in 1996. In 1999, he finished school as the best graduate of the year. From 2000 to 2001, he went to Fachoberschule and got his subject-linked university entrance qualification, with which he began to study Physical Technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich. After two semesters, he got his preliminary diploma and began with general studies of Physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2003. In 2011, he completed Dipl.-Phys. (Univ.) in experimental physics with the THz characterization of thin semiconductor films in photonics and optoelectronics. Now, he is working on his dissertation to Dr. rer. nat. on plasma etching processes for semiconductors at the Walter Schottky Institute of the Technische Universität München in Garching. In his spare time, he has been learning programming languages such as BASIC, Pascal, C/C++, x86 and x64 Assembler, as well as HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and the database system MySQL and has been programming since he was 13 years old. Since 1995, he has been an active hobby musician in different accordion ensembles and orchestras. He also loves to learn about languages and drawing, and he began practicing Chinese martial arts in 2012. He invests most of his free time in hobby electronic projects and family genealogical research. He was the co-author of Charge carrier relaxation and effective masses in silicon probed by terahertz spectroscopy, S. G. Engelbrecht, A. J. Reichel, and R. Kersting, Journal of Applied Physics.

SLEPc – a library for Eigenvalue problems

SLEPc stands for Scalable Library for Eigenvalue Problem Computations. With this library, it is possible to solve Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors. These problems are infamous in quantum mechanics. Before we go a little into details, we will download, configure, and compile the SLEPc extension library.

Downloading and configuring SLEPc

Download Version 3.4.4 from http://www.grycap.upv.es/slepc/download/download.htm.

Note

SLEPc and PETSc must match in their main and first subversions. So, 3.4.4 and 3.4.1 are fine, and 3.5 and 3.1 will probably not work.

To install SLEPc, extract the archive with the following command:

tar –xf petsc-3.4.4.tar.gz

Go to the petsc-3.4.4 subdirectory and type the following:

export PETSC_DIR=/var/mpishare/petsc-3.4.1
export PETSC_ARCH=arm-shared
export SLEPC_DIR=/var/mpishare/slepc-3.4.4
./configure

This takes only a minute.

Tip

In order to install SLEPc, PETSc must already be compiled!

The configure script will finish with the following...
