Abstract:

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is an attractive and feasible solution for achieving good performance. The use of GPU becoming more popular because of their advantages. In this paper we have presented survey of different solver like LU Decomposition, Gauss-Jordan Elimination and Jacobi Iteration. Basically, these solvers are used for solving large linear system. To speed up the process of solving linear system of equation this solver have implemented in CUDA language on graphics processing platform. This linear solver can be used in many scientific intensive application domains. As compare to single CPU, GPU will help in achieving higher performance.
