Abstract
A research agreement between the Australian National University and
Fujitsu Japan has led to the development of a library of parallel
mathematical subroutines and the extension of the library of single
processor routines for the Fujitsu VPP300. This machine provides a
very sophisticated architecture combining vector processors in parallel
by a crossbar switch. Very high performance can be obtained if carefully
designed algorithms are used which exploit the full capabilities of the
hardware.
New algorithms have been developed and performance results are provided
here for eigenvalue problems, linear solvers and fast Fourier and
wavelet transforms.

This and the companion paper [182] summarise the
main achievements of the
"Area 4" Project up to mid-1998.
