Abstract
The solution of linear systems of equations on advanced parallel and/or vector computers is an important area of ongoing research.[4.1–4.2]. The development of efficient equation solvers is particularly important for static and dynamic structural analyses, eigenvalue and buckling analyses, sensitivity analysis and structural optimization procedures.[4.3–4.5] Research has been directed towards developing either effective vector methods or parallel methods to solve linear systems of equations. However, modern supercomputers now have both parallel and vector capability; algorithms that exploit both capabilities are the most desirable.
