The sparse matrix-vector product is an important computational kernel that runs ineffectively on many computers with super-scalar RISC processors. In this paper we analyse the performance of the sparse matrix-vector product with symmetric matrices originating from the FEM and describe techniques that lead to a fast implementation. It is shown how these optimisations can be incorporated into an efficient parallel implementation using messagepassing. We conduct numerical experiments on many different machines and show that our optimisations speed up the sparse matrix-vector multiplication substantially.
