A parallel algorithm for solving the implicit diffusion difference equations

Abstract

This paper presents a parallel algorithm for solving the implicit diffusion difference equations. The basic idea is based on vectorization of the tridiagonal Toeplitz difference equations. This method is superior to the algorithm showed by H. Stone [8]. We computed some examples on an NEC SX-3/44R supercomputer by our method. The results showed a good parallelism with this algorithm.
