The roulette wheel selection is a critical process in heuristicalgorithms, enabling the probabilistic choice of items based on assigned fitness values. It selects an item with a probability proportional to its fitness value. This technique is commonly employed in ant-colony algorithms to randomly determine the next city to visit when solving the traveling salesman problem. Our study focuses on parallelalgorithms designed to select one of multiple processors, each associated with fitness values, using random wheel selection. We propose a novel approach called logarithmic random bidding, which achieves an expected runtime logarithmic to the number of processors with non-zero fitness values, using the CRCW-PRAM model with a shared memory of constant size. Notably, the logarithmic random bidding technique demonstrates efficient performance, particularly in scenarios where only a few processors are assigned non-zero fitness values.

We present a theoretical analysis and an experimental evaluation of four serial heuristics and four parallelheuristics for the minimum set cover problem. The serial heuristics trade off run time with the quality of the solution. The parallelheuristics are derived from one of the serial heuristics. These heuristics show considerable speedup when the number of processors is increased. The quality of the solution computed by the heuristics does not degrade with an increase in the number of processors.
