Hi All,

Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into dsyevx. Unfortunately cuSolver 
might be out of the question since I actually need to compute these eigenvalues 
within a device kernel, although it might be worthwhile to compute the 
eigenvalues with cusolver as a pre-processing step to my own kernel.

Best regards,
