Abstract

The problem of solving systems of linear algebraic equations by parallel Monte Carlo numerical methods is considered. A parallel Monte Carlo method with relaxation is presented. This is a report of a research in progress, showing the effectiveness of this algorithm. Theoretical justification of this algorithm and numerical experiments are presented. The algorithms were implemented on a cluster of workstations using MPI.
