This lecture is an introduction into parallel algorithms for the so-called massively parallel models of computers (the number of processors is a function of the input size) with shared memory.

  1. Parallel RAM, complexity measures for parallel computations, parallel thesis.
  2. Techniques of parallel algorithms (balanced binary trees, divide-and-conquer method, tasks splitting, cascade acceleration).
  3. Parallel algorithms for graphs - Euler tour technique, connected components, minimal spanning tree, shortest paths.
  4. Optimal parallel sorting, parallel merging, minimal element.
  5. Lower bounds for parallel computations, computing OR, summation.
  6. Polylog-complexity classes P-complete problems.
