  • Abstract
    A parallel algorithm, namely Parallel Block Odd-Even Reduction (PBOER) algorithm, is proposed to solve block tridiagonal linear systems on multi-computers. PBOER algorithm is the combination of PDD and OER method, and is thus highly accurate and scalable. The PBOER is highly parallel and provides approximate solutions that equals to the exact solutions within machine accuracy. The method proposed in this paper has been implemented on a 64-node multi-computer. The analytic results match closely with the results measured from the numerical experiments.
