| Abstract | This paper continues exploration in the area of programming for parallel computers. The appendix to the paper contains an extensive survey of the literature related to parallel computers and parallel programming techniques. The paper itself presents a new approach to solving the Laplace equation on a. parallel computer. A new "block" method, the Accelerated Alternating Halves method, is found to be consistently better than the Accelerated Point Gauss-Seidel method or the Accelerated Line Gauss- Seidel method when used on a parallel processor computer. |
