Parallel Gaussian Elimination on Single-chip Cloud Computer

Gaussian elimination (GE) method is widely used in the solution of systems of linear equations. The Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC) is an experimental processor created by Intel Labs. This paper analyzes performance of parallel Gaussian Elimination method applied on SCC. Three systems of equations with different sizes are tested. The results show that Gaussian elimination method can benefit from the multi-core systems and better performance can be achieved when the size of systems becomes larger.
