Abstract

A cyclic Jacobi method for computing the singular value decomposition of an m × n matrix (> n) using systolic arrays is proposed. The algorithm requires O(n2) processors and O(m + n log n) units of time.

Comments

The systolic array proposed here is similar to one proposed by Brent and Luk [84] for the symmetric eigenvalue problem, but to handle a rectangular SVD problem requires a preprocessing step in which a QR factorization is computed.

A closely related paper is [87]. For an extension to the generalized SVD, see [83].
