Quite recently it has been proved that a two-dimensional processor array with a reconfigurable bus system (PARBS, for short) is at least as powerful as the CRCW shared memory computer. In this note we argue that the well-known PARITY problem can be solved in O(1) time on a two-dimensional PARBS of (n+1)×n processors. Since it is known that PARITY cannot be solved in constant time on a CRCW even if a polynomial number of processors is available, our result shows that the two-dimensional PARBS is strictly more powerful than the CRCW.

A simple parallel algorithm for generating N-ary reflected Gray codes is presented. The algorithm is derived from the pattern of N-ary reflected Gray codes. The algorithm runs on a linear processor array with a reconfigurable bus system. A reconfigurable bus system is a bus system whose configuration can be dynamically changed. Recently processor arrays with reconfigurable bus systems were used to solve many problems in constant time. There already exists experimental reconfigurable chips.

A reconfigurable mesh is a two-dimensional processor array equipped with a reconfigurable bus system that can be changed dynamically to suit different computational needs. In this paper we present a parallel algorithm for the summation of N numbers each in the range [0, 2b). The algorithm runs in O(b+ log log N) time on [Formula: see text] reconfigurable mesh. This is an improvement over the best previously known algorithm that solves the same problem in O(b log log N) time. The algorithm is finally extended to compute the prefix sums of the given numbers in the same time.

Algorithm Parallelization

The task or precedence graph formalism is a practical tool to study algorithm parallelization. Redundancy in such task graphs gives rise to numerous avoidable inter-task dependencies which invariably complicates the process of parallelization. In this paper we present an O(1) time algorithm for the elimination of redundancy in such graphs on Processor Arrays with Reconfigurable Bus Systemusing O(n4) processors, The previous parallel algorithm available in the literature for redundancy elimination in task graphs takes O(n2) time using O(n) processors.
