  • Abstract
    An important algorithm in linear algebra, i.e., LU decomposition, which initially seemed an unlikely candidate to benefit from parallel processing has been shown to be highly parallelizable. Results obtained with a moment method code on a transputer array show acceptable efficiencies for problems of interest in computational electromagnetics (CEM).<>
