An Improved Mapping of Cyclic Elimination onto Hypercubes Using Data Replication
Kartik Gopalan, C. Siva Ram Murthy · International Journal of High Speed Computing · 1997
In this paper, we propose a new mapping of the Cyclic Elimination (CE) algorithm for the solution of block tridiagonal linear system of equations onto hypercube multiprocessors. Unlike the previous mapping schemes, in our mapping of the CE algorithm all communications are restricted to physically adjacent processors, using the concept of data replication. The effectiveness of our mapping is demonstrated by comparing it with the existing mapping of the Cyclic Reduction algorithm onto hypercubes using both analytical and simulation methods.
