Written by an authority in the field, this book provides an introduction to the design and analysis of parallel algorithms. The emphasis is on the application of the PRAM (parallel random access machine) model of parallel computation, with all its variants, to algorithm analysis. Special attention is given to the selection of relevant data structures and to algorithm design principles that have proved to be useful. Features *Uses PRAM (parallel random access machine) as the model for parallel computation. *Covers all essential classes of parallel algorithms. *Rich exercise sets. *Written by a highly respected author within the field. 0201548569B04062001read more

Online Tensor Methods for Learning Latent Variable Models
TL;DR: In this article, an online tensor decomposition based approach for two latent variable modeling problems namely, (1) community detection, in which they learn the latent communities that the social actors in social networks belong to, and (2) topic modeling, which they infer hidden topics of text articles.

Introduction to Parallel Algorithms and Architectures: Arrays, Trees, Hypercubes
TL;DR: This chapter discusses sorting on a Linear Array with a Systolic and Semisystolic Model of Computation, which automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of manually sorting arrays.

The Parallel Evaluation of General Arithmetic Expressions
TL;DR: It is shown that arithmetic expressions with n ≥ 1 variables and constants; operations of addition, multiplication, and division; and any depth of parenthesis nesting can be evaluated in time 4 log 2 + 10(n - 1) using processors which can independently perform arithmetic operations in unit time.
