Abstract

Weiner's [We-73] suffix tree is known to be a powerful tool for string manipulations. We present a parallel algorithm for constructing a suffix tree. The algorithm runs in O(log n) time and uses n processors. We also present applications for designing efficient parallel algorithms for several string problems.
