Abstract

Systolic algorithms often present an attractive parallel programming paradigm. However, the unavailability of specialised hardware for efficient implementation means that such algorithms are often dismissed as being of theoretical interest only. In this paper we report on experience with implementing a systolic algorithm for matrix factorisation and present a modified version that is expected to lead to acceptable performance on a distributed memory multicomputer. The origin of the problem that generates the full complex matrix in the first place is in the field of hydrodynamics.
