Abstract

Given n elements from a totally ordered set we outline a method for choosing an element whose rank is γ n for some 0 <γ<1 where γ is independent of n. The algorithm executes in constant time in a CRCW PRAM model using a linear number of processors and succeeds with probability 1 − n − c for any c>0.
