Abstract
This paper presents results which improve the e.ciency of parallel algorithms for computing minimum spanning trees. These results are obtained by mainly applying fast integer sorting. For an input graph with n vertices and m edges our EREW PRAM minimum spanning tree algorithm runs in O(log n) time with $$
O\left( {\left( {m + n} \right)\sqrt {\log n} } \right)
$$ operations. Our CRCW PRAM minimum spanning tree algorithm runs in O(log n) time with O((m + n) log log n) operations. These complexities relate to the complexities of parallel integer sorting. We also show that for dense graphs we can achieve O(log n) time with O(n 2) operations on the EREW PRAM.

Keywords  Parallel algorithms - graph algorithms - minimum spanning tree - integer sorting - PRAM
