The CONGEST and CONGEST-CLIQUE models have been carefully studied to represent situations where the communication bandwidth between processors in a network is severely limited. Messages of only $O(log(n))$ bits of information each may be…

We study the classic Euclidean Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) problem in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model. Given a set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of $n$ points, the goal is to produce a spanning tree for $X$ with weight within a…
