Abstract
It is shown that, for any fixed dimension d , the linear programming problem with n inequality constraints can be solvent on a probabilistic CRCW PRAM (concurrent-read-concurrent-write parallel random-access machine) with O (n ) processors almost surely in constant time. The algorithm always finds the correct solution. With nd /log2d processors, the probability that the algorithm will not finish within O (d 2log2d ) time tends to zero exponentially with n
