Abstract
In this review paper, we consider some important developments and trends in algorithm design for the solution of linear systems concentrating on aspec ts that involve the exploitation of parallelism. We briefly discuss the sol ution of dense linear systems, before studying the solution of sparse equat ions by direct and iterative methods. We consider preconditioning technique s for iterative solvers and discuss some of the present research issues in this field. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
