Time-work tradeoffs for parallel algorithms.

Time-work tradeoffs for parallel algorithms.

Some parallel algorithms have the property that, as they are allowed to take more time, the total work that they do is reduced. This paper describes several algorithms with this property. These algorithms solve important problems on directed graphs, including breadth-first search, topological sort,...
