Abstract

The time required by a p-processor CRCW PRAM to add n integers of N bits each or to compute all their prefix sums is shown to be θ (n/p + log n/log log p + log min{N/log p, n}), which unifies many previous results.

Author Keywords: Parallel algorithms; Prefix summation; CRCW PRAMs; Concurrent writing
