Abstract

Given n items, a parallel algorithm for generating all the n! permutations is presented. The computational model used is a linear array which consists of n identical processing elements with a simple structure. One permutation is produced at each other time step. The elapsed time to produce a permutation is independent of the integer n. The basic idea used is the iterative method and the exchange of two consecutive components in an existing permutation. The design procedures of this algorithm are considered in detail. The ranking and unranking functions of the required permutations are also discussed.
