Abstract
In this paper we propose a natural straight forward implementation of Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm on a model of associative parallel processors of the SIMD type with bit-serial (or vertical) processing (the STAR-machine). In addition, we show how to extend this implementation for restoring the shortest path from the source vertex to a given vertex. These algorithms of implementation are represented as the corresponding STAR procedures whose correctness is verified and time complexity is evaluated.
