Abstract: A new parallel method for solving first order systems of ordinary differential equations using variable step size and order (back value) is developed. The method, known as parallel R-point block method, calculates the numerical solution at more than one point simultaneously. The program of the method employed is run on a shared memory Sequent Symmetry S27 parallel computer. Computational advantages are presented comparing the results obtained by the new method with that of conventional 1-point method. The numerical results show that the new method reduces the total number of steps and execution time. It is also discovered that the accuracy of the parallel r-point block method and the 1-point method is comparable particularly when finer tolerances are used.
