Abstract :
In this paper, we propose two parallel Aggregation-Isolation iterative methods for solving Markov chains. These parallel methods conserves as much as possible the benefits of aggregation, and Gauss-Seidel effects. Some experiments have been conducted testing models from queuing systems and models from Google Page Ranking. The results of the experiments show super linear speed-up for the parallel Aggregation-Isolation method.
