  • Abstract
    The authors present two new parallel algorithms for matching parentheses on an exclusive-read exclusive-write parallel random-access machine (EREW PRAM). The first algorithm uses n processors and O(n) space, and requires O(log n) time to match n parentheses. The second algorithm is cost-optimal, and uses O(logn/n) processors and O(n log n ) space, and it requires O(log n) time. These algorithms are simpler and more elegant than the existing ones, and provide new insights into the parentheses matching problem
