This paper reports on the restructure of three outstanding iterative methods for large space nonsymmetric linear systems. These methods are CGS (conjugate gradient squared), CRS (conjugate residual squared), and Orthomin(k). The restructured methods are more suitable for vector and parallel processing. The authors implemented these methods on a parallel vector system. The linear systems for the numerical tests are obtained from discretizing four two- dimensional elliptic partial differential equations by finite difference and finite element methods. A vectorizable and parallelizable version of incomplete LU preconditioning is used. The authors restructured the subroutines to enhance the data locality in vector machines with storage hierarchy. Speedup was measured for multitasking by four processors.
