This document is intended an introduction to parallel algorithms. The algorithms and techniques described in this document cover over 40 years of work by hundreds of researchers.

Nov 18, 2024 · Here is an example of an algorithm for finding a large value that gives up its guarantee of getting the best value in exchange for an improved running time. This is an …

Explore the fundamentals of parallel algorithms, their importance, and applications in computing. Learn how parallel processing can enhance performance and efficiency.

We begin in Section 1 with a discussion of how to model parallel computers. Next, in Section 2 we cover some general techniques that have proven useful in the design of parallel algorithms. …

It is also common in parallel algorithms to divide the original problem in to as man y subproblems as p ossible, so that they can all b e solv ed in parallel. As an example of parallel divide-and …

In this section, we present parallel graph algorithms for breadth- rst search, low-diameter decomposition, connectivity, maximal independent set and minimum span-ning tree which …

The section will conclude with the presentation of a strongly optimal deterministic parallel algorithm and illustrate a powerful technique used in the design of parallel algorithms, …

In this chapter, we define a natural randomized parallel complexity class, RNC, and give a survey of randomized algorithms for problems in this class. In recent years, there has been an …
