Abstract

In this paper the usefulness of the partition method [S. C. Chen, D. J. Kuck, and A. H. Sameh, ACM Trans. Math. Software, 4 (1978), pp. 270–277], [H. H. Wang, ACM Trans. Math. Software, 7 (1981), pp. 170–183] for solving linear bidiagonal systems on vector computers is studied. It is shown that the method is numerically stable for an interesting class of problems. For different vector computers suitable variants of the method are computed and upper bounds for their performance are presented. Also reported are some actually observed performances in a FORTRAN environment.
