摘要: Abstract We show that in the deterministic comparison model for parallel computation, p = n processors can select kth smallest item from a set of numbers O(log log n) time. With this result all tasks (selection, merging, sorting) now have upper and lower bounds same order both random models. This optimal time bound holds even if o ( ).
