Abstract

We present fast and efficient parallel algorithms for finding the connected components of an undirected graph. These algorithms run on the exclusive-read, exclusive-write (EREW) PRAM. On a graph with n yertices and m edges, our randomized algorithm runs in O(log n) time using (m + n1+ε)/log n EREW processors (for any fixed ε > 0). A variant uses (m + n)/log n processors and runs in O(log n log log n) time. A deterministic version of the algorithm runs in O(log1.5 n) time using m + n EREW processors.
