Abstract

Two related results are presented. The first is a simple n/log n processor, O(log n) time parallel algorithm for list ranking. The second is a general parallel algorithmic technique for computations on trees; it yields the first n/log n processor, O(log n) time deterministic parallel algorithm for expression tree evaluation, and solves many other tree problems within the same complexity bounds.
