Abstract

We describe a simple parallel algorithm for generating all permutations of n elements. The algorithm is designed to be executed on a linear array of n processors, each having constant size memory and each being responsible for producing one element of a given permutation. There is a constant delay per permutation, leading to an O (n!) time solution. The algorithm is cost-optimal, assuming the time to output the permutations is counted.
