N2 - The ESSEX project is an ongoing effort to provide exascale-enabled sparse eigensolvers, especially for quantum physics and related application areas. In this paper we first briefly summarize some key achievements that have been made within this project. Then we focus on a projection-based eigensolver with polynomial approximation of the projector. This eigensolver can be used for computing hundreds of interior eigenvalues of large sparse matrices. We describe techniques that allow using lower-degree polynomials than possible with standard Chebyshev expansion of the window function and kernel smoothing. With these polynomials, the degree, and thus the number of matrix–vector multiplications, typically can be reduced by roughly one half, resulting in comparable savings in runtime.
