Abstract

Multiple-instruction multiple-data (MIMD) algorithms that use multiple processors to domedian splitting, k-splitting and parallel splitting into t equal sections are presented. Bothconcurrent read, exclusive write (CREW) and exclusive read, exclusive write (EREW)versions of the algorithms are given. It is shown that a k-splitting problem can be easilyconverted into a median-splitting problem. Methods for finding multiple split points quickly and application of k-splitting to merging and sorting are discussed.
