Which package exactly solved the subspace or you used them in conjunction?
Can you give pseudo-code for that, for example do I have to call a set of
functions or only the one function is associated with subspace iteration in?
Petsc or Arpack?
How about the other methods Jacobi, simultaneous iteration etc.. is it
possible
to use them in Petsc?

If you call 5000x5000 matrix small I really wonder what you will call huge ?
