Abstract
An ocean model has been developed to compute a large set of barotropic free oscillations with explicit consideration of dissipative terms and the full ocean loading and self-attraction effect. The Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Method is utilized to determine these free oscillations. It is a highly efficient approach to solve large scale eigenvalue problem, in particular if the matrix entries are generally nonzero. The mean performance on the SX-8 supercomputer is up to 3.4 TFlops on 512 CPUs.
