Abstract
We describe an asynchronous parallel variant of the randomized Kaczmarz (RK) algorithm for solving the linear system . The analysis shows linear convergence and indicates that nearly linear speedup can be expected if the number of processors is bounded by a multiple of the number of rows in .
