[For the entire collection see Zbl 0753.00017.] The parallel Lanczos algorithm LANZ and its implementation on shared- memory architectures with a small to moderate number of processors is described to be used for finding a few of the eigenpairs around a point in the eigenspectrum. The generalized eigenvalue problem \(Kx=\lambda Mx\) \((K\), \(M\) are matrices; they are reordered to a narrow bandwidth) is considered. Two architectures, CRAY Y-MP and Encore Multimax are discussed. Differences in the implementation of the algorithm on a multivector processor and on a multiprocessor are pointed out. A model is presented for predicting the performance of LANZ in shared-memory architectures. Results from the implementation are given and analyzed by using an execution-time model. The algorithm and the parallel tridiagonal eigensolver are listed. The procedure is important for structural engineering where vibration and buckling arise.
