Comparison of direct methods for tridiagonal systems on the CDC-STAR-100. [Relative efficiencies of scalar and vector arithmetic]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7123898
The methods of Gauss Elimination, T. Jordan, and cyclic reduction are described and compared. A timing analysis is given on the CDC-STAR-100. It is demonstrated that the most favorable algorithm for solving a tridiagonal system is a combination of Gauss Elimination and cyclic reduction. A comparison is made of the STAR and the CDC-7600 for solving tridiagonal systems. 1 figure, 4 tables.
