These m-files are related to a claim we make in a recently submitted paper that PPCD converges faster than GCD. Although it is difficulty to show that claim analytically, the m-files in this directory give empirical evidence of that claim. Note: you must be patient when executing this code! Note to me: The m-files for testing are in /n/ir4/x/ssotthiv/blockCD/mpi/2d/. 16x16 GCD and 16-PPCD take more time to run. Comparing only 4x4 GCD, 4-PPCD, and CD takes about 10 mins.
