Popis: In this paper, we are interested in solving the algebraic path problem (APP) on regular arrays. We first unify previous contributions with recurrence transformations. Then, we propose a new localization technique without long-range communication which leads to a piecewise affine scheduling of 4 n + Θ (1) steps, where n is the size of the problem. The derivation of a locally connected space-time minimal solution with respect to the new scheduling constitutes the second contribution of the paper. This new design requires n 2 /3+ Θ ( n ) elementary processors and solves the problem in 4 n + Θ (1) steps, and this includes loading and unloading time. This is an improvement over the best previously known bounds.
