Abstract
To address a lack of performance with respect to general systems and modest computer resources, a new parallel algorithm of optimal order is introduced which draws exclusively from the latest developments in serial processor low order constrained system solutions. The existing constraint solution termed Recursive Coordinate Reduction (RCR) is shown to be applicable only to a narrow class of kinematic constraints and a completely generalized form is derived and verified.
