posted on 2013-12-10, 13:40 authored by Giulia SpalettaThe work presented in this thesis mainly concerns the analysis of parallel
algorithms for the solution of tridiagonal linear systems and the design of
a new tridiagonal equation solver, which can be run on a MIMD (Multiple
Instruction Multiple Data stream) type parallel computer, in particular the
Balance 8000 Sequent system at Loughborough University of Technology.
In the first chapter, an introduction to the existing computer models is
given, together with a brief description of the process that has led from the
uniprocessor machine to the development of different parallel architectures.
Enhancement is given to MIMD shared memory systems. In this respect,
the main characteristics of the Sequent system are presented, as well as the
main programming features supported by the Balance Operating System, the
Dynix....cont'd
