The computational model on which the algorithms are developed is the arrays with reconfigurable optical buses (abbreviated to AROB). It integrates the advantages of both optical transmission and electronic computation. In this paper, instead of using the radix-2 system, a radix-x system can be used

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we describe optimal processor-time parallel algorithms for set operations such as union, intersection, comparison on quadtrees. The algorithms presented in this paper run in (O(\log) (N) ) time using (N / \log N) processors on a shared memory model of computation that allows concurrent reads or writes. Consequently they allow us to achieve optimal speedups using any number of processors up to (N / \log N). The approach can also be used to derive optimal processor-time parallel algorithms for weaker models of parallel computation. 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

Finite element meshes and node-numberings suitable for parallel solution with equally loaded processors are presented for linear orthotropic elliptic partial differential equations. These problems are of great importance, for instance in the oil and airfoil industries. The linear systems of equation
Recent advances in wavelet theory and in finite element computations draw attention to a well-known, simple, and computationally efficient triangulation method. We take a new look at this triangulation, which is obtained by repeated symmetric bisection, starting with a half square. The cells form th
We present two new algorithms for searching in sorted X ุ Y ุ R ุ S, one based on heaps and the other on sampling. Each of the algorithms runs in time O(n 2 log n) (n being the size of the sorted arrays X, Y, R, and S). Hence in each case, by constructing arrays of size n โซุโฌ O(2 s/4 ), we obtain a
