We consider the problem of sorting $n$ items, given the outcomes of $m$ pre-existing comparisons. We present a simple and natural deterministic algorithm that runs in $O(m + \log T)$ time and does $O(\log T)$ comparisons, where $T$ is the…

We consider a parallel computational model that consists of $P$ processors, each with a fast local ephemeral memory of limited size, and sharing a large persistent memory. The model allows for each processor to fault with bounded…

We present sorting algorithms that represent the fastest known techniques for a wide range of input sizes, input distributions, data types, and machines. A part of the speed advantage is due to the feature to work in-place. Previously, the…

Conventional sorting algorithms make use of such data structures as array, file and list which define access methods of the items to be sorted. Such traditional methods as exchange sort, divide and conquer sort, selection sort and insertion…

Scheduling query execution plans is a particularly complex problem in shared-nothing parallel systems, where each site consists of a collection of local time-shared (e.g., CPU(s) or disk(s)) and space-shared (e.g., memory) resources and…

We present fast algorithms for approximate shortest paths in the massively parallel computation (MPC) model. We provide randomized algorithms that take $poly(\log{\log{n}})$ rounds in the near-linear memory MPC model. Our results are for…

In an array of N elements, M positions and M elements are "marked". We show how to permute the elements in the array so that all marked elements end in marked positions, in time O(N) (in the standard word-RAM model), deterministically, and…

We consider the problem of sorting $n$ elements subject to persistent random comparison errors. In this problem, each comparison between two elements can be wrong with some fixed (small) probability $p$, and comparing the same pair of…

Given an array $\mathcal{A}$ of $n$ elements and a value $2 \leq k \leq n$, a frequent item or $k$-majority element is an element occurring in $\mathcal{A}$ more than $n/k$ times. The $k$-majority problem requires finding all of the…
