Synopsis
This book examines the potential and limitations of shared memory parallel computers for searching large data sets using only comparison-based algorithms. The author argues that while these computers can offer significant advantages over traditional serial computers, certain inherent limitations prevent them from achieving truly linear speedups. The book develops lower bounds on the time complexity of parallel searching algorithms, demonstrating that shared memory parallel computers with a fixed number of processors cannot achieve a speedup greater than a constant factor. The author also analyzes the impact of using more powerful comparison operators, such as polynomial comparisons, and shows that while these operators can improve the performance of parallel searching algorithms, they do not fundamentally change the overall complexity. Through these insights, this book provides a deeper understanding of the capabilities and limitations of shared memory parallel computers for searching problems.
