Abstract
We present a randomized parallel algorithm that computes the greatest common divisor of two integers of n bits in length with probability 1−o(1) that takes O(nloglogn/logn) time using O(n6+ϵ) processors for any ϵ>0 on the EREW PRAM parallel model of computation. The algorithm either gives a correct answer or reports failure.We believe this to be the first randomized sublinear time algorithm on the EREW PRAM for this problem.
