A parallel radix-4 block cyclic reduction algorithm

2014

A conventional block cyclic reduction algorithm operates by halving the size of the linear system at each reduction step, that is, the algorithm is a radix-2 method. An algorithm analogous to the block cyclic reduction known as the radix-q partial solution variant of the cyclic reduction (PSCR) method allows the use of higher radix numbers and is thus more suitable for parallel architectures as it requires fever reduction steps. This paper presents an alternative and more intuitive way of deriving a radix-4 block cyclic reduction method for systems with a coefficient matrix of the form tridiag{ − I,D, − I}. This is performed by modifying an existing radix-2 block cyclic reduction method. Th…
