Fast Parallel Computation of Longest Common Prefixes

EVENT TYPE: Papers

TIME: 4:30PM - 5:00PM

ABSTRACT:

Suffix arrays and the corresponding longest common prefix (LCP) array
have wide applications in bioinformatics, information retrieval and
data compression. In this work, we propose and theoretically analyze
new parallel algorithms for computing the LCP array given the suffix
array as input. Most of our algorithms have a work and depth
(parallel time) complexity related to the LCP values of the input. We
also present a slight variation of Karkkainen and Sanders'
skew algorithm that requires linear work and poly-logarithmic depth in
the worst case. We present a comprehensive experimental study of our
parallel algorithms along with existing parallel and sequential LCP
algorithms. On a variety of real-world and artificial strings, we
show that on a 40-core shared-memory machine our fastest algorithm is
up to 2.3 times faster than the fastest existing parallel algorithm,
and up to 21.8 times faster than the fastest sequential LCP algorithm.
