Parallel searching and merging on ZMOB. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6231896
One of the most difficult issues that must be addressed when studying a class of parallel algorithms is the problem of choosing a model that captures the inherent difficulty of implementing these algorithms on a multiprocessor architecture. Shared memory models have proven to be an effective tool for deriving lower bounds on the complexity of comparison problems. In particular, a speed-up of lg(P) is possible for the problem of finding an element in an N-element sorted list, and speed-ups of PlglgP and P are possible for merging N-element sorted lists of P processors for the cases N=P and P
