Abstract

The RTZ algorithm reduces a real matrix by a sequence of orthogonal transformations to a Real Schur Form [13]. In this paper we present a parallel implementation of the RTZ algorithm. We tested our code with a visual display of a real matrix as it got reduced to a block triangular matrix. The display helped us to understand and correct some of the problems in the implementation of our algorithm.
