We present a randomized EREW PRAM algorithm to find a minimum spanning forest in a weighted undirected graph. On an n-vertex graph the algorithm runs in o((log n)(1+epsilon)) expected time for any epsilon > 0 and performs linear expected work. This is the first linear-work, polylog-time algorithm on the EREW PRAM for this problem. This also gives parallel algorithms that perform expected linear work on two general-purpose models of parallel computation-the QSM and the BSP.

The inherent bit complexity of leader election on asynchronous unidirectional rings of processors is examined under various assumptions about global knowledge of the ring. If processors have unique identities with a maximum of m bits, then the expected number of communication bits sufficient to elect a leader with probability 1, on a ring of (unknown) size n is O(nm)
