Abstract

We present two parallel strategies to compute the inverse of a dense matrix, based on the so-called Sherman-Morrison algorithm and demonstrate their efficiency in memory and runtime on multicore CPU and GPU-equipped computers. Our methods are shown to be much more efficient than the direct method to compute the inverse of a nonsingular dense matrix, yielding up to 12 times faster performance on the CPU.
