Parallel algorithms for the static dictionary compression

Studies parallel algorithms for two static dictionary compression strategies. One is the optimal dictionary compression with dictionaries that have the prefix property, for which our algorithm requires O(L+log n) time and O(n) processors, where L is the maximum allowable length of the dictionary entries, while previous results run in O(L+log n) time using O(n²) processors, or in O(L+log²n) time using O(n) processors. The other algorithm is the longest-fragment-first (LFF) dictionary compression, for which our algorithm requires O(L+log n) time and O(nL) processors, while the previous result has O(L log n) time performance on O(n/log n) processors. We also show that the sequential LFF dictionary compression can be computed online with a lookahead of length O(L²)
