Abstract

We describe herein the parallel implementation of the Bi-CGSTAB method with a block red–black Gauss–Seidel (RBGS) preconditioner applied to the systems of linear algebraic equations that arise from the Hermite collocation discretization of partial differential equations in two spatial dimensions. The method is implemented on the Cray T3E, a parallel processing supercomputer. Speedup results are discussed.
