We study the minimum spanning tree (MST) problem in the massively parallel computation (MPC) model. Our focus is particularly on the *strictly sublinear* regime of MPC where the space per machine is $O(n^\delta)$. Here $n$ is the number of…

Consider a clique of n nodes, where in each synchronous round each pair of nodes can exchange O(log n) bits. We provide deterministic constant-time solutions for two problems in this model. The first is a routing problem where each node is…

We present a distributed randomized algorithm finding Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) of a given graph in O(1) rounds, with high probability, in the Congested Clique model. The input graph in the Congested Clique model is a graph of n nodes,…
