| Abstract(in English) | The Pfaffian is a homogeneous polynomial defined for a skew-symmetric matrix. The Pfaffian has similar characteristics to determinantsand square of the Pfaffian of a skew-symmetric matrix corresponds to its determinant. In physics fields, such as quantum field theory with lattice model, variational Monte Carlo method and topological quantum number, computing the Pfaffian is especially meaningful, and rapid computation of the Pfaffian contributes to further development of physics. Despite demand, there is few numeric calculation library for computing the Pfaffian, and any library cannot sufficiently exert computer performance. PFAPACK is a Pfaffian calculation library which has already applied to various studiesand implements an algorithm with better computational complexity. However, the implementation is not suitable for current computer performancebecause parallel computing and data arrangement with high efficiency of accessis not sufficiently considered. Therefore, in this study, the author develops a Pfaffian computation library optimized for current computer systems. In the development, the author tries to improve the data access speed by optimizing dataarrangement and considers of SIMD instructions and hierarchical cache. The performance of the library is verified in comparison to existing libraries. |
