This paper is concerned with an evaluation of the WZ algorithm both as to its potential parallelism and to its suitablity for implementation on the ICL DAP. Robustness of the method is ensured by a novel pivoting scheme. Application areas considered are solution of systems of linear equations and fi

The greatest emphasis has hitherto been on parallel application of Givens rotations. In this paper we show that on the Distributed Array Processor (DAP), Householder reflections turn out to be faster than Givens rotations, to perform QR factorization of an m X n matrix, especially for m >> n. Detail
Monte Carlo techniques are potentially well suited to SIMD architectures, provided that the samples used can be treated in parallel. The standard sampling schemes used for the simulation of neutron diffusion make this impossible; we describe here a revised scheme which has been implemented on the IC
