We consider scheduling of tasks of parallel programs on multiprocessor systems where tasks have precedence relations and synchronization points. The task graph structures are random variables in the sense that successors to a task do not become known until the task is executed. Thus, as is often the

โฆ Synopsis
We consider the Renaming Problem, a basic processing step in string algorithms, for which we give a simultaneously work and time optimal Las Vegas type PRAM algorithm. The Renaming Problem is closely related to the Multiset Sorting Problem.

We describe a new parallel data structure, namely parallel heap, for exclusive-read exclusive-write parallel random access machines. To our knowledge, it is the first such data structure to efficiently implement a truly parallel priority queue based on a heap structure. Employing p processors, the p
