A new parallel algorithm for solving periodic tridiagonal Toeplitz linear systems of equations is presented. This algorithm is designed for computers with a limited number of processors. It is a combination of the Kim and Lee algorithm, and a bordering method. Kim and Lee algorithm is based on a modified Gaussian elimination, and it requires a continued fraction and its analytic solution during the decomposition phase to minimize the decomposition overhead. The proposed algorithm is implemented on an Intel iPSC/2 hypercube and attained an almost linear speedup.
