Since some one asked for more details, I discovered I got the year wrong.
The following is the JACM article from his PhD thesis (harder to find).
%A Gerard M. Baudet
%T Asynchronous iterative methods for multiprocessors
%J Journal of the ACM
%V 25
%N 2
%D April 1978
%P 226-244
%K Chaotic relaxation
multiprocessor applications
%K bsatya
%X Presents techniques for exploiting the parallelism of multiprocessing
systems in solving a set of equations. An interesting feature of the
algorithms described is that they do not require synchronization among
the cooperating processes working on the problem.

I found his completed thesis one day by running into Dave Stevenson.
It's just a matter to find papers on topics like this. One way is
to use the Science Citation Index [you do know what the SCI is don't
you?] and find out who referenced Baudet and others.
There are other papers for instance:
%A D. Scott Eberhardt
%A Donald Baganoff
%T Multiple Grid Problems on Concurrent Processing Computers
%R NASA TM 86675
%D February 1986
%K Concurrent processing, parallel processing, computational fluid dynamics,
overset grids, chaotic relaxation,
is a locally written paper. Do not ask me for any of these papers.
I am not a library service. Learn to use a library.
