Abstract: A new general parallel algorithmic technique for computations on trees is presented. In particular, it provides the firstn/logn processor,O(logn)-time deterministic EREW PRAM algorithm for expression tree evaluation. The technique solves many other tree problems within the same complexity bounds.
