LCAlibrary

 ...............................Lowest Common Ancestor CaIculations

 

Team Members | Overview | Source Forge | Contact 


This programming library is for performing LCA (Lowest Common Ancestor) calculations. It will start off as a uniprocessor sequential implementation, and hopefully later include Multiprocessor or PVM implementations.
The current algorithms under development is a sequential O(n) preprocessing solution conceived by Michael Bender and Martin Farach-Colton and Uzi Vishkin et all's PRAM solution.

Documents & Files

News

The presentation for CS410OSS at PSU is available.

Bender's method implementation in perl now available for download

Vishkins method implementation in C++ now available for download

Project Schedule An ongoing list of estimated completion dates. Milestones of what has been accomplished so far

Function Descriptions A list of what's available in this library. Methods, functions etc. Only Bender right now, Vishkin coming soon.

The journal articles of the two algorithms are on sourceforge

8-08-03: Creating documentation for Bender's method
8-06-03: Preparing Bender's method for release.
8-04-03: Creating the mpich parallel version will need more time then is available in this class. We will now focus on completing and polishing off the two sequential versions.
8-01-03: Putting vishkins parallel mpich design on hold in interest of finishing the vishkin serial and bender programs
7-29-03: Parallel mpich vishkin PRAM model still under development. It is much more difficult then the serial one.
7-22-03: Serial single threaded of vishkin's code ready
7-14-03: currently working on vishkins code
7-14-03: Added docs on SF.net with the algorithms
