Popis: Ensemble computing, which is an instance of capacity computing, is an effective computing scenario for exascale parallel supercomputers. In ensemble computing, there are multiple linear systems associated with a common coefficient matrix. We improve the performance of iterative solvers for multiple vectors by solving them at the same time, that is, by solving for the product of the matrices. We implemented several iterative methods and compared their performance. The maximum performance on Sparc VIIIfx was 7.6 times higher than that of a naive implementation. Finally, to deal with the different convergence processes of linear systems, we introduced a control method to eliminate the calculation of already converged vectors.
