TL;DR: This paper presents a CRCW parallel RAM algorithm that constructs the suffix tree associated with a string ofn symbols inO(logn) time withn processors that requires Θ(n2) space.
Abstract: Many string manipulations can be performed efficiently on suffix trees. In this paper a CRCW parallel RAM algorithm is presented that constructs the suffix tree associated with a string ofn symbols inO(logn) time withn processors. The algorithm requires ź(n2) space. However, the space needed can be reduced toO(n1+ź) for any 0< ź ≤1, with a corresponding slow-down proportional to 1/ź. Efficient parallel procedures are also given for some string problems that can be solved with suffix trees.
