contents Mixed-precision arithmetic offers significant computational advantages for large-scale matrix computation tasks, yet preserving accuracy and stability in eigenvalue problems and the singular value decomposition (SVD) remains challenging. This paper introduces an approach that eliminates orthogonalization requirements in traditional Rayleigh-Ritz projection methods. The proposed method employs non-orthogonal bases computed at reduced precision, resulting in bases computed without inner-products. A primary focus is on maintaining the linear independence of the basis vectors. Through extensive evaluation with both synthetic test cases and real-world applications, we demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves the desired accuracy while fully taking advantage of mixed-precision arithmetic.
