Fast and Lightweight Distributed Suffix Array Construction

Authors: Manuel Haag, Florian Kurpicz, Peter Sanders, and Matthias Schimek

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
The suffix array contains the lexicographical order of all suffixes of a text. It is one of the most well-studied text indices with applications in bioinformatics, compression, and pattern matching. The main bottleneck of distributed-memory suffix array construction algorithms is their memory requirements. Even careful implementations require 30×-60× the input size as working memory. We present a scalable and lightweight distributed-memory adaptation of the difference cover (DCX) suffix array construction algorithm. Our approach relies on novel bucketing and random chunk redistribution techniques which reduce our memory requirement to 20×-26× the input size for medium-sized inputs and to 14×-15× for large-sized inputs. Regarding running time, we achieve speedups of up to 5× over current state-of-the-art distributed suffix array construction algorithms.

In-Place Parallel Super Scalar Samplesort (IPSSSSo)

Authors: Michael Axtmann, Sascha Witt, Daniel Ferizovic, and Peter Sanders

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 87, 25th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2017)

Abstract
We present a sorting algorithm that works in-place, executes in parallel, is cache-efficient, avoids branch-mispredictions, and performs work O(n log n) for arbitrary inputs with high probability. The main algorithmic contributions are new ways to make distribution-based algorithms in-place: On the practical side, by using coarse-grained block-based permutations, and on the theoretical side, we show how to eliminate the recursion stack. Extensive experiments shw that our algorithm IPSSSSo scales well on a variety of multi-core machines. We outperform our closest in-place competitor by a factor of up to 3. Even as a sequential algorithm, we are up to 1.5 times faster than the closest sequential competitor, BlockQuicksort.
