[comp.parallel] Parallel Parsing?

chou@CS.UCLA.EDU (Ching-Tsun Chou) (10/16/90)

Does anyone know of any works, either theoretical or practical, on
parsing context-free languages with parallel algorithms?
I would greatly appreciate any pointers and will post a summary of responses.

Please mail your response to <chou@cs.ucla.edu>.

Parallel Parsing of Context Free Languages.

I found an interesting algorithm in the following book:

	Efficient Parallel Algorithms
	Alan Gibbons and Wojciech Rytter
	Cambridge University Press

In Proceedings of the International Workshop on Parsing Technologies,
Carnegie Mellon, 1989 (Available from Joan Maddamme, Computer Science,
CMU, Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890, Also a book soon from MIT Press --
Current Issues in Parsing Technology, Masaru Tomita editor) are a
number of papers, including a good brief survey by Nijholt.  Also soon
to appear from Ablex:  Parallel Models of Natural Language
Computation, Adriaens and Hahn, editors.

The abstract parallel chart parser described in my contribution to the
Pittsburgh workshop is available on request.
