The function may be called by the names: f08fnc, nag_lapackeig_zheev or nag_zheev.
3Description
The Hermitian matrix is first reduced to real tridiagonal form, using unitary similarity transformations, and then the algorithm is applied to the tridiagonal matrix to compute the eigenvalues and (optionally) the eigenvectors.

8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f08fnc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08fnc makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
