Optimal Parallel Algorithm for the Knapsack Problem Without Memory Conflicts

Abstract The knapsack problem is well known to be NP-complete. Due to its importance in cryptosystem and in number theory, in the past two decades, much effort has been made in order to find techniques that could lead to practical algorithms with reasonable running time. This paper proposes a new parallel algorithm for the knapsack problem where the optimal merging algorithm is adopted. The proposed algorithm is based on an EREW-SIMD machine with shared memory. It is proved that the proposed algorithm is both optimal and the first without memory conflicts algorithm for the knapsack problem. The comparisons of algorithm performance show that it is an improvement over the past researches.     

A parallel algorithm for the 0–1 knapsack problem

Research efforts on parallel exact algorithms for the 0–1 knapsack problem have up to now concentrated on solving small problems (at most 1,000 objects) and in many cases results have only been obtained by simulation of the parallel algorithm. After a brief review of a well known sequential branch-and-bound algorithm we discuss a new parallel algorithm for the 0–1 knapsack problem which exploits the potential parallelism that exists during the backtracking steps of the branch-and-bound algorithm. We report results for our parallel algorithm on a transputer network for problems with up to 20,000 objects. The speedup obtained is nearly linear for 2, 4, and 8 processors except when there is a strong correlation between the profit and weight of the objects.     

A parallel two-list algorithm for the knapsack problem

An n-element knapsack problem has 2ⁿ possible solutions to search over, so a task which can be accomplished in 2″ trials if an exhaustive search is used. Due to the exponential time in solving the knapsack problem, the problem is considered to be very hard. In the past decade, much effort has been done in order to find techniques which could lead to practical algorithms with reasonable running time. In 1994, Chang et al. proposed a brilliant parallel algorithm, which needs O(2^n/8) processors to solve the knapsack problem in O(2^n/2) time; that is, the cost of Chang et al.'s parallel algorithm is O(2^5n/8). In this paper, we propose a parallel algorithm to improve Chang et al.'s parallel algorithm by reducing the time complexity to be O(2^3n/8) under the same O(2^n/8) processors available. Thus, the proposed parallel algorithm has a cost of O(2^n/2). It is an improvement over previous literature. We believe that the proposed parallel algorithm is pragmatically feasible at the moment when multiprocessor systems become more and more popular.
