Abstract
We present parallel algorithms to e ciently permute a sorted array into the level-order binary search
tree (BST), level-order B-tree (B-tree), and van Emde Boas (vEB) layouts in-place. We analytically
determine the complexity of our algorithms and empirically measure their performance. Given N
elements and P processors, our fastest algorithms have a parallel runtime of O
N
P
for the BST
layout, O
N
P + logB N
logB N
for the B-tree layout, and O
N
P log logN
for the vEB layout
using the CREW Parallel Random Access Machine (PRAM) model. Experimental results indicate
that on both CPU and GPU architectures, the B-tree layout provides the best query performance.
However, when considering the total time to permute the data using our algorithms and to perform
a series of search queries, the vEB layout provides the best performance on the CPU. We show that
given an input of N=500M 64-bit integers, the bene ts of query performance (compared to binary
search) outweigh the cost of in-place permutation using our algorithms when performing at least
5M queries (1% of N) and 27M queries (6% of N), on our CPU and GPU platforms, respectively.
