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

On parallel recognition of cographs
TL;DR: A known parallel cograph-recognition algorithm proposed by Nikolopoulos and Palios is modified and a new analysis of the algorithm is provided, which improves upon the previously best known result, which took O(log^2n) time using O(n+mlogn) processors on an EREW PRAM.

Coping with sparse inputs on enhanced meshes-semigroup computation with COMMON CRCW buses
TL;DR: The main result is an O(k/sup 1/4 /log/sup 2/k) time algorithm that requires a composition of several data movement and compaction techniques which seem to be of general use for solving problems with sparse inputs scattered on the mesh.

Parallel algorithms and complexity
TL;DR: This chapter deals with the next stage of parallel algorithms, which are needed when standard sequential algorithms don’t allow sufficient parallelism, then parallel algorithms based on new design principles are needed.

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.

Data parallel algorithms
W. Daniel Hillis,Guy L. Steele +1 more
TL;DR: The success of data parallel algorithms—even on problems that at first glance seem inherently serial—suggests that this style of programming has much wider applicability than was previously thought.

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.
