Fast hashing on a PRAM—designing by expectation

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 vertices and m edges, our randomized algorithm ...

Locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) is a basic primitive in several large-scale data processing applications, including nearest-neighbor search, de-duplication, clustering, etc. In this paper we propose a new and simple method to speed up the widely-used ...
