Abstract

In this paper, we present an efficient parallel algorithm to solve Toeplitz--block and block--Toeplitz systems in distributed memory multicomputers. This algorithm parallelizes the Generalized Schur Algorithm to obtain the semi-normal equations. Our parallel implementation reduces the communication cost and optimizes the memory access. The experimental analysis on a cluster of personal computers shows the scalability of the implementation. The algorithm is portable because it is based on standard tools and libraries, such as ScaLAPACK and MPI.
