One such system which may be modeled by a nonlinear sparse set of equations is the power system load flow analysis. This is a mathematical study performed by electrical utilities to monitor the electrical power system. The data from system components are used to create a set of nonlinear equations. These equations are then solved to find the voltage profile of the power network. With these data, control and security of the power system are achieved.Solving problems of this type is very time consuming when the system is large.This dissertation proposes a highly parallel computer architecture for solving large sets of nonlinear sparse equations. The goal of this architecture is to reduce the processing time required to solve this type of problem. In particular, the load flow problem is analyzed and implemented on this architecture. For the FPL network, the speed is increased by a factor of about 2000.vi
