DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6842453· OSTI ID:6842453

Algorithms and software for performing sparse Cholesky decomposition and using the Cholesky factors in the solution of sparse symmetric positive definite systems on serial computers have reached a high state of development. In this paper we present algorithms for performing these two phases on a shared-memory multiprocessor computer, along with some numerical experiments demonstrating their performance on a Sequent Balance 8000 system. 10 refs., 3 figs., 7 tabs.
