As the size of the problem directly suggests the usage of parallel iterative methods, we consider the implementation on multiprocessor shared memory parallel architectures with Graphics Processing Units of the non-stationary preconditioned Bi-Conjugate Gradient Stabi- lized (BiCGSTAB) iterative method. To induce scalability to our computation, we structure the Collocation matrix to a particular line red-black ordered form, leading to the devel- opment of a well-structured parallel algorithm for the iterative method. The realization of the said algorithm took place on a HP SL390 multiprocessor machine with Tesla M2070 GPUs. Execution time measurements are used to reveal the efficiency of our parallel implementation.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Proceedings of the World Congress on Engineering Mathioudakis Emmanouil Μαθιουδακης Εμμανουηλ Vilanakis Nikolaos Βιλανακης Νικολαος Papadopoulou Eleni Παπαδοπουλου Ελενη Saridakis Ioannis Σαριδακης Ιωαννης Collocation BiCGSTAB Shared memory OpenMP OpenACC GPUs
