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

Time-optimal visibility-related algorithms on meshes with multiple broadcasting
D. Bhagavathi,V. Bokka,H. Gurla,Stephan Olariu,James L. Schwing,Ivan Stojmenovic,Jingyuan Zhang +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a time-optimal solution for the visibility problem for ordered line segments, disks, and iso-oriented rectangles in the plane is presented, which runs in O(log n) time on a mesh with multiple broadcasting of size n/spl times/n.

Trade-offs between communication throughput and parallel time
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of limited communication throughput on parallel computation in a setting where the number of processors is much smaller than the length of the input was studied, and an almost matching upper bound of O((n/mp)logO(1)n)n).

Parallel three-dimensional mesh generation on distributed memory MIMD computers
TL;DR: An automatic mesh generation technique designed to operate effectively on multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) parallel computers and a final dynamic repartitioning step is applied at the region level to produce a partition ready for finite element analysis.

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.

Parallelism in random access machines
Steven Fortune,James C. Wyllie +1 more
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.
