In contrast to parallel algorithms or to approaches where randomization in linear algebra problems is primarily utilized for approximation purposes, our emphasis is on the flexibility and fault tolerance which can be achieved with randomized communication schedules. In our algorithms, each node communicates only with its nearest neighbors. Thus, they are attractive for decentralized and dynamic computing networks and they can recover from various types of failures occurring at runtime.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs concrete case studies, we discuss a distributed QR factorization method and distributed orthogonal iteration method in terms of performance, resilience against hard and soft failures, and resilience against asynchrony of the nodes.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWilfried N.
