Abstract

A parallel processing system for iteratively solving a set of equations in an array of parallel processors compresses the input data by sequentially shifting and averaging the initial values to form a reduced array of averaged data; solving the equations for the reduced data; and then successively expanding the nth solution to form an (n+1)th approximation on an increased number of data points solving the equations on the data points and expanding the new solution to form the next approximation.
