Recursively Divisible Problems

چکیده
We introduce the concept of a (p; d)-divisible problem, where p reeects the number of processors and d the number of communication phases of a parallel algorithm solving the problem. We call problems that are recursively (n ; O(1))-divisible in a work-optimal way with 0 < < 1 ideally divisible and give motivation drawn from parallel computing for the relevance of that concept. We show that several important problems are ideally divisible. For example, sorting is recursively (n 1=3 ; 4)-divisible in a work-optimal way. On the other hand, we also provide some results of lower bound type. For example, ideally divisible problems appear to be a proper subclass of the functional complexity class FP of sequentially feasible problems. Finally, we also give some extensions and variations of the concept of (p; d)-divisibility.

A Valuation Theoretic Characterization of Recursively saturated Real Closed Fields
We give a valuation theoretic characterization for a real closed field to be recursively saturated. This builds on work in in [KKMZ02], where the authors gave such a characterization for κ-saturation, for a cardinal κ ≥ א0. Our result extends the characterization of Harnik and Ressayre [HR] for a divisible ordered abelian group to be recursively saturated.
متن کاملNon - Primes Are Recursively Divisible
In this article an inherent characteristics of the non-prime numbers of recursively holding the divisibility property is studied. The recursive property applies to any number system by virtue drawing some necessary conclusions. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 11A51, 11K16.
متن کاملSemi-G-filters, Stonean filters, MTL-filters, divisible filters, BL-filters and regular filters in residuated lattices
At present, the filter theory of $BL$textit{-}algebras has been widelystudied, and some important results have been published (see for examplecite{4}, cite{5}, cite{xi}, cite{6}, cite{7}). In other works such ascite{BP}, cite{vii}, cite{xiii}, cite{xvi} a study of a filter theory inthe more general setting of residuated lattices is done, generalizing thatfor $BL$textit{-}algebras. Note that fil...
متن کاملScheduling Under Power and Energy Constraints
Given a system model where machines have distinct speeds and power ratings but are otherwise compatible, we consider various problems of scheduling under resource constraints on the system which place the restriction that not all machines can be run at once. These can be power, energy, or makespan constraints on the system. Given such constraints, there are problems with divisible as well as no...
