There are several applications in which it is required to embed a given set of distances between pairs of points in m- dimensional space. In this report, a parallel version of a sequential algorithm for the distance embedding problem due to Sippl and Scheraga is discussed for an SIMD-SM CRCW machine. In contrast with another (sequential) algorithm for the problem due to Pulskamp, this one does not require the solution of a characteristic matrix equation for its eigenvalues and therefore leads to a more efficient parallel implementation.
