Title: Vectorization of algorithms for solving systems of difference equations

Book ·
OSTI ID:5247784

Today's fastest computers achieve their performance when processing vectors. The author defines two types of vector architecture and discusses the variation of performance that can occur on a vector processor as a function of algorithm and implementation, the consequences of this variation, and the performance of some basic operators on the two classes of vector architecture. He also discusses the performance of higher level operators. He discusses the implementation of techniques for solving systems of difference equations. Included are fast poisson solvers and point, line, and conjugate gradient techniques. 22 references.
