Parallel processing and VLSI design: Solving large-scale linear systems

by Schwarz, Eric M.

This thesis discusses techniques of solving large-scale linear systems. In particular, parallel processing methods with a VLSI design of a machine that can do this are discussed. Two architectures described in this paper are original. Also, techniques for evaluating architectures and algorithms have been improved, and with this evaluation technique, a comprehensive review of architectures for all types of systems of linear equations is given.
