8 results about "Parallel algorithm" patented technology

In computer science, a parallel algorithm, as opposed to a traditional serial algorithm, is an algorithm which can do multiple operations in a given time. It has been a tradition of computer science to describe serial algorithms in abstract machine models, often the one known as Random-access machine. Similarly, many computer science researchers have used a so-called parallel random-access machine (PRAM) as an parallel (shared-memory) abstract machine.
