  • Abstract
    We present a new optimal deterministic parallel algorithm for merging two sorted arrays A = (a0, a1, ... , an1 - 1) and B = (b0, b1, ... , bn2 - 1) of integers. The elements of two sorted arrays are drawn from a domain of integers [0, n - 1], where n = Max(n1, n2). The algorithm takes O(log n) time and O(n) space using n/log n processors on EREW PRAM. Also, the algorithm is stable
