Why use MCSR?
• Reference us in proposals to secure grants for computationally intensive research.
• Leave the fast computing to us.
• Use our specialized math, science, and engineering packages in your instruction or research.
• Let your students learn on us.
• Tap into our experience in Unix, Linux, and Cluster Building.

Important features of ARPACK with respect to this QM calculation include: •Ability to return a select number of eigenvalues (k) where k is much, much smaller than the order of the matrix, n.•Small, fixed storage requirement.•Only the action of the matrix on a vector is needed
