Abstract

A parallel version of the self-verified method for solving linear systems
was presented on PARA and VECPAR conferences in 2006. In this research we propose improvements aiming
at a better performance. The idea is to implement an algorithm that uses technologies
as MPI communication primitives associated to libraries as LAPACK,
BLAS and C-XSC, aiming to provide both self-verification and speed-up at the
same time. The algorithms should find an enclosure even for very ill-conditioned
problems. In this scenario, a parallel version of a self-verified solver for dense
linear systems appears to be essential in order to solve bigger problems. Moreover,
the major goal of this research is to provide a free, fast, reliable and accurate
solver for dense linear systems.
