Abstract
An apparatus and method for performing matrix calculations is provided. The apparatus comprises a computer system having a linearly connected array of processors. Each processor has three inputs, two of which receive data along the linear array. The processors are configured to perform certain multiply-add operations. The methods permit speeded up solution of systems of linear equations and matrix inversion. The methods involve manipulating the matrices and the unknown vector values such that the problem can be solved using vector orthogonalization techniques.
