Line successive over relaxation (LSOR) is an iterative method for solving elliptic differential equations [\textit{W. F. Ames}, Numerical methods for partial differential equations (1969; Zbl 0219.35007)]. LSOR takes advantage of the CRAY vector capabilities as compared to the point successive over relaxation (SOR) method, which does not vectorize. By minor modification of the traditional SOR elliptic equation solver, we find that in certain coordinates an increase of a factor of two or greater in convergence time can be realized.
