Parallel Issues

Our current bottleneck is a software design issue. Much of SEPlib, assumes axes no larger than 231 by using integers. If we exceed this number we get semi-random errors. Another potential problem is the way we implemented the eignvector calculation. If we scale to many nodes, the communication time will dominate, and we will significantly degraded performance. We have so far avoided this problem by running on a low-latency, high-bandwidth network.
