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

A work-time optimal algorithm for computing all string covers
TL;DR: The all-covers problem, i.e., that of computing all the covers of a given string of length n, is considered and an optimal O(log log n)-time CRCW PRAM algorithm is presented for the all- covers problem.

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.
