Abstract

The ability of many processors to simultaneously read from the same cell of shared memory can give additional power to a parallel random access machine. In this paper, we describe a natural Boolean function of n variables and show that the expected running time of any probabilistic EROW PRAM computing this function is in ω(√ log n) although it can be computed by a CROW PRAM in O(loglogn) steps.
