Abstract

We identify an important class of parallel computations, called ±2b - descend, with an efficient implementation on a hypercube. Given the input A[0: N - 1], a computation in this class consists of log N iterations. Iteration 6, 6 = logN - 1,.,0, computes the new value of each A[i] as a function of A[i], A[i+2b] and A[i-2b]. We obtain a general algorithm for implementing any computation in this class in O(logN) time on a SIMD hypercube. Our general descend algorithm results in an efficient O(log N) implementation of Batcher's odd-even merge algorithm on a hypercube. The best previously known implementation of odd-even merge on a SIMD hypercube requires O(log2 N) time.
