Kipadia, Nirav Harish. M.S.E.E., Purdue University. May 1994. Pi SIMD Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication Algorithm for Computational Electromagnetics and Scattering Matrix Models. Major Professor: Jose Fortes. A large number of problems in numerical analysis require the multiplication of a sparse matrix by a vector. In spite of the large amount of fine-grained parallelism available in the proc...
