Abstract

A parallel algorithm for solving complex hermitian Toeplitz linear systems is presented. The parallel algorithm exploits the special structure of Toeplitz matrices to obtain the solution in a quadratic asymptotical cost. Our parallel algorithm transfors the Toeplitz matrix into a Cauchy–like matrix. Working on a Cauchy–like system lets to work with real arithmetic. The parallel algorithm for the solution of a Cauchy–like matrix has a low amount of communication cost regarding other parallel algorithms that work directly on the Toeplitz system. We use a message–passing programming model. The experimental tests are obtained in a cluster of personal computers.
