In a way, an eigenvalue problem is a problem that looks as if it should have continuous answers, but instead only has discrete ones. Lapack and scalapack are widely used software libraries for numerical linear algebra. Many problems in quantum mechanics are solved by limiting the calculation to a finite, manageable, number of states, then finding the linear combinations which are the energy eigenstates. Lapack addresses this problem by reorganizing the algorithms to use block matrix operations, such as matrix multiplication, in the innermost loops.
