Abstract An existing general sparse-elimination algorithm was benchmarked on the Cyber 205 and the Cray 1-S. Computation rates on the Cyber 205 reached 16.7 million floating point operations per second (MFLOPS) and 9.8 MFLOFS on the Cray 1-S. It is concluded that the existing algorithm does not exploit the full potential of the vector computer. Several schemes are under investigation to improve the performance of the algorithm.
