block distributed methods for solving multi-country econometric
TRANSCRIPT
Abstract
This paper examines variations on a baseline Fair-Taylor algorithm used to
solve multi-country, rational expectations models. One notable feature of
these variations is the ability to exploit small-scale distributed processing
t.sing a network of workstations or pes. Using fouf processors to solve MX-4
(152 endogenous variables), the largest speedup factor relative to Fair-Taylor
iB 59; for RE-7 (978 endogenous variables) the maximum speedup factor is
12.
