Abstract

This paper considers the construction of the suffix array of a string on the MasPar MP-2 architecture. suffix arrays are space-efficient variants of the suffix trees, a fundamental dictionary data structure that is the backbone of many string algorithms for pattern matching and textual information retreival. We adapt known PRAM techniques for implementation on the MasPar: bulletin boards, doubling techniques and sorting methods. Performance results are presented.
