Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new distributed algorithm, called Directed Transmission Method (DTM). DTM is a fully asynchronous and continuous-time iterative algorithm to solve SPD sparse linear system. As an architecture-aware algorithm, DTM could be freely running on all kinds of heterogeneous parallel computer. We proved that DTM is convergent by making use of the final-value theorem of Laplacian Transformation. Numerical experiments show that DTM is stable and efficient.
