Some applications often demand a fast solution of large-scale singular value problems; In other applications, extracting knowledge from large-scale data requires many techniques such as data mining, and high performance computing. We firstly present a preconditioned hybrid, two-stage method to effectively and accurately compute a small number of extreme singular triplets. More importantly, we have implemented a high-performance preconditioned SVD solver software, PRIMME\_SVDS. PRIMME\_SVDS fills a gap in production level software for computing the partial SVD, especially with preconditioning. In addition, we propose a real-time outlier detection algorithm to efficiently find blob-filaments in fusion experiments and numerical simulations. We have implemented this algorithm with hybrid MPI/OpenMP and show that we can achieve linear time speedup and complete blob detection in two or three milliseconds using a HPC cluster.
