We consider thestandard CG algorithm of Hestenes and Stiefel, and as an alternative the Chronopoulos\/Gear variant, a formulation thatis potentially better suited for grid computing since it requires only one synchronisation point per iteration, instead oftwo for standard CG. In addition, we improve the computation\-to\-communication ratio by maximising the work in thepreconditioner."]
