Minimum of n Values
Parallel Algorithm
Sequence of square operations.
Each square op. contains
n
3
independent (min,
+
) operations that can be performed in parallel yielding
n
3
results.
Each of the
n
2
entries
D(i,j)
is a minimum of
n
values.
Complexity:
log n
square computations.
1 time step for all (min,
+
) operations.
log n
time to compute each of the
n
2
minimums.
Parallel complexity
O(log
2
n)
