A parallel algorithm for solving linear systems that arise from the discretization of boundary value ODEs is described. It is a modification of a cyclic reduction algorithm that takes advantage of the almost block diagonal structure of the linear system. A stable modification of the original algorithm is also proposed. Numerical results on a distributed memory parallel computer with 32 processors are presented and discussed.
