abstract

PIM is a collection of Fortran routines designed to solve systems of
linear equations (SLEs) on parallel computers using iterative methods.
The routines allow the use of preconditioners; the user may choose to
use left-, right- or symmetric-preconditioning. Several stopping
criteria can also be chosen.

keywords

parallel numerical library; iterative method;
conjugate gradient method; sparse linear systems

environment

PIM has been tested on networks of workstations using PVM 3.1, p4
1.2, TCGMSG 4.02, on the Intel Paragon using the NX library and on
the Cray Y-MP2E/233.
