....for shared memory multiprocessors exceeds 50 efficiency in 8 processors with great difficulty. Better results are reached for distributed memory machines as presented by Stappen, Bisseling and van der Vorst (1993) 29] for a square Transputer mesh, and by Koster and Bisseling (1994) [24, 25] also for a transputer mesh. In these codes, they do not present a switch to a dense code stage nor parallel solve stage. 6 Conclusions This work presents a complete tool, SpLU, to solve large nonsymmetric linear systems on distributed memory multiprocessors. SpLU code comprises analysefactorize ....

.... sparse matrices (see Table 3 for a description) The parallel algorithm was coded in C and PVM routines were used for message passing (the Cray T3D specific low latency PVM functions were used as in the MGS) There are some improvements to the linked list implementation developed by Jacko Koster [17], such as the reduction of the communications cost by an implicit pivoting together with sporadic workload re balancing phases. On the other hand, in the parallel version based on packed vectors, the A matrix is distributed following the BCS scheme and the sparse local matrices are stored in the ....
