Download or read book New Parallel Algorithms for Direct Solution of Linear Equations written by C. Siva Ram Murthy and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 2000-10-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rather than parallelizing sequential algorithms, the authors develop new back-substitution free parallel algorithms, using a bidirectional elimination technique for the solution of both dense and sparse linear equations. They provide full coverage of bidirectional parallel algorithms based on Gaussian elimination, LU factorization, Householder reductions and modified Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, Givens rotations, sparse Cholesky factorization, and sparse factorization, clearly demonstrating how the bidirectional approach allows for improved speedup, numerical stability, and efficient implementation on multiprocessor systems." "Plus, the book offers a useful survey of the vast literature on direct methods, introductory material on solving systems of linear equations, and exercises. It is an invaluable resource for computer scientists, researchers in parallel linear algebra, and anyone with an interest in parallel programming."--BOOK JACKET.
