Smith University of New England Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit Armidale NSW 2351 Australia received 1 March 1988 accepted 1 June 1989 Summary - Although the capacity of modern computers is increasing dramatically so too are the complexity of models that animal breeders employ with the result that we still find computers limiting. This paper demonstrates the employment of linked lists for sparse matrix manipulations and their use in a number of relevant applications. animal breeding prediction of genetic merits numerical methods sparse matrix Resume utilisation en génétique animale de 1 absorption dans des matrices creuses.

In the early years of computing when main memory was a major limitation a variety of techniques were developed to utilise efficiently that memory which was available Bunch and Rose 1976 . This paper illustrates the use of one of these techniques -linked lists - to store sparse matrices and eliminate absorb equations. Examples are given of how this technique can be useful. TYPICAL MODELS Linear models that are commonly used by animal geneticists have .
