Abstract
A distributed approach is described for solving lineality or linearity space LS problems with large cardinalities and a large number of dimensions The LS solution has applications in engineering science and business and includes a subset of solutions of the more general extended linear complementarity problem ELCP A parallel MATLAB framework is employed and results are computed on an 8node Rocks based cluster computer using Remote Procedure Calls RPCs and the MPICH2 Message Passing Interface MPI Results show that both approaches perform comparably when solving distributed LS problems This indicates that when deciding which parallel approach to use the implementation details particular to the method are the decisive factors which in this investigation give MPICH2 MPI the advantage
