Abstract

We prove that evaluating a Boolean decision tree of height h requires Ω(h/log* h) time on any EREW PRAM with communication width one. Since this function can be easily solved in time O(√h) on a CREW PRAM with communication width one, this gives a separation between the two models. Our result can be extended to show a separation whenever the EREW PRAM has communication width m ε o(√h).
