Parallel methods for linear systems solution in extreme learning machines: an overview

Abstract

This paper aims to present an updated review of parallel algorithms for solving square and rectangular single and double precision matrix linear systems using multi-core central processing units and graphic processing units. A brief description of the methods for the solution of linear systems based on operations, factorization and iterations was made. The methodology implemented, in this article, is a documentary and it was based on the review of about 17 papers reported in the literature during the last five years (2016-2020). The disclosed findings demonstrate the potential of parallelism to significantly decrease extreme learning machines training times for problems with large amounts of data given the calculation of the Moore Penrose pseudo inverse. The implementation of parallel algorithms in the calculation of the pseudo-inverse will allow to contribute significantly in the applications of diversifying areas, since it can accelerate the training time of the extreme learning machines with optimal results.
