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
