We consider bounded integer knapsacks where the weights and variable upper bounds together form a superincreasing sequence. The elements of this superincreasing knapsack are exactly those vectors that are lexicographically smaller than the…
We consider the allocation of $m$ balls (jobs) into $n$ bins (servers). In the Two-Choice process, for each of $m$ sequentially arriving balls, two randomly chosen bins are sampled and the ball is placed in the least loaded bin. It is…
This paper presents the design and analysis of parallel approximation algorithms for facility-location problems, including $\NC$ and $\RNC$ algorithms for (metric) facility location, $k$-center, $k$-median, and $k$-means. These problems…
A mesh is a graph that divides physical space into regularly-shaped regions. Meshes computations form the basis of many applications, e.g. finite-element methods, image rendering, and collision detection. In one important mesh primitive,…

In this paper, an effective method with time complexity of $\mathcal{O}(K^{3/2}N^2\log \frac{K}{\epsilon_0})$ is introduced to find an approximation of the convex hull for $N$ points in dimension $n$, where $K$ is close to the number of…
Given a set $S$ of $n$ points in the Euclidean plane, the two-center problem is to find two congruent disks of smallest radius whose union covers all points of $S$. Previously, Eppstein [SODA'97] gave a randomized algorithm of $O(n\log^2n)$…
This paper presents an $O(\log\log \bar{d})$ round massively parallel algorithm for $1+\epsilon$ approximation of maximum weighted $b$-matchings, using near-linear memory per machine. Here $\bar{d}$ denotes the average degree in the graph…
We explore the separability of point sets in the plane by a restricted-orientation convex hull, which is an orientation-dependent, possibly disconnected, and non-convex enclosing shape that generalizes the convex hull. Let $R$ and $B$ be…
We present an in-place algorithm for the partition problem that has linear work and polylogarithmic span. The algorithm uses only exclusive read/write shared variables, and can be implemented using parallel-for-loops without any additional…
We present a deterministic oblivious LIFO (Stack), FIFO, double-ended and double-ended priority queue as well as an oblivious mergesort and quicksort algorithm. Our techniques and ideas include concatenating queues end-to-end, size…

Emerging non-volatile main memory (NVRAM) technologies provide byte-addressability, low idle power, and improved memory-density, and are likely to be a key component in the future memory hierarchy. However, a critical challenge in achieving…
We propose a new O(n)-space implementation of the GKO-Cauchy algorithm for the solution of linear systems with Cauchy-like matrix. Despite its slightly higher computational cost, this new algorithm makes a more efficient use of the…

Maintaining the pair similarity relationship among originally high-dimensional data into a low-dimensional binary space is a popular strategy to learn binary codes. One simiple and intutive method is to utilize two identical code matrices…
The binary-forking model is a parallel computation model, formally defined by Blelloch et al. very recently, in which a thread can fork a concurrent child thread, recursively and asynchronously. The model incurs a cost of $\Theta(\log n)$…
Previous parallel sorting algorithms do not scale to the largest available machines, since they either have prohibitive communication volume or prohibitive critical path length. We describe algorithms that are a viable compromise and…
We present a novel 2D convex hull peeling algorithm for outlier detection, which repeatedly removes the point on the hull that decreases the hull's area the most. To find k outliers among n points, one simply peels k points. The algorithm…
