Abstract
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. 0201548569B04062001

How to avoid making the same Mistakes all over again: What the parallel-processing community has (failed) to offer the multi/many-core generation

J.L. Traff
TL;DR: It is timely for the parallel-processing community to take stock: What does the community have to offer the upcoming generation that will have to deal with parallelism for a much broader range of applications.

Maintaining Voronoi Diagrams in Parallel

Thomas Roos
TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm for maintaining the Voronoi diagram in parallel over time using only 0(1) time per event on a CREW PRAM with O(nrf1) processors is presented.

Algoritma untuk matching pada sistem penulisan ulang ekspresi

TL;DR: An algorithm for matching process on such term in tree based on pattern matching is presented and linearize both given tree and pattern tree into string representation by using Euler technique and and apply prefix-sum to computers the rank of all linearized edge.

Time-optimal tree computations on sparse meshes

TL;DR: The task of encoding and/or decoding n-node binary and ordered trees cannot be solved faster than Ω(log n) time even if the MMB has an infinite number of processors, and the task of reconstructing n- node binary trees from their traversais can be performed in O(1) time on the same architecture.

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

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.

Parallelism in random access machines

TL;DR: A model of computation based on random access machines operating in parallel and sharing a common memory is presented and can accept in polynomial time exactly the sets accepted by nondeterministic exponential time bounded Turing machines.

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.
