Using the WDZ decomposition algorithm, a parallel algorithm is presented for solving the linear system Ax=b which has an nxn nonsingular tridiagonal matrix. For implementing this algorithm a CAM systolic arrary is proposed, and each processing element of this array has its own CAM to store the nonzero elements of the tridiagonal matrix. In order to evaluate this array the algorithm presented is compared to theis compared to the LU decomposition algorithm. It is found that the execution time of the algorithm presented is reduced to about 1/4 than that of the LU decomposition algorithm. If each computation process step can be dome in one time unit, the system of eqations is solved in a systolic fashion without central control is obtained in 2n+1 time steps.
