Abstract

We present a parallel algorithm for two dimensional matching. This algorithm is optimal in two ways. First, the total number of operations on the text is linear. Second, the algorithm takes time O(logm) on a CREW PRAM, thus matching the lower bound for string matching on a PRAM without concurrent writes. On a CRCW, the algorithm runs in time O(loglogro). Finding such an algorithm was a problem posed in 1985 and has been open since.
