Investigating the Benefits of Parallel Processing for Binary Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research explored possible benefits of parallel programming for the binary search, specifically relating to how divisions of threads in a binary search affected efficiency of the algorithm. A unique search, named Congruent Binary Search (CBS), was written with the goal of avoiding the pitfalls of the standard parallel binary search. It was hypothesized the CBS would run in , where N is number of elements in the search and p is number of processors. Virtually no speed increase of the CBS was found when compared to standard serial and paralyzed binary search. Research failed to find strong evidence that the CBS offers a performance boost over other binary searches. The binary search is not a good candidate for parallel programing.

New Formulation and Solution in PCB Assembly Systems with Parallel Batch processors
This paper considers the scheduling problem of parallel batch processing machines with non-identical job size and processing time. In this paper, a new mathematical model with ready time and batch size constraints is presented to formulate the problem mathematically, in which simultaneous reduction of the makespan and earliness-tardiness is the objective function. In recent years, the nature-in...
متن کاملA Parallel Genetic Algorithm Based Method for Feature Subset Selection in Intrusion Detection Systems
Intrusion detection systems are designed to provide security in computer networks, so that if the attacker crosses other security devices, they can detect and prevent the attack process. One of the most essential challenges in designing these systems is the so called curse of dimensionality. Therefore, in order to obtain satisfactory performance in these systems we have to take advantage of app...

متن کاملUsing both Binary and Residue Representations for Achieving Fast Converters in RNS
In this paper, a new method is introduced for improving the efficiency of the Residue Number System, which uses both binary and residue representations in order to represent a number. A residue number system uses the remainder of the division in several different modules. Conversion of a number to smaller ones and carrying out parallel calculations on these numbers greatly increase the speed of...
