Parallelize DSW Algorithm

Abstract

In this project, we propose a parallelized DSW algorithm, useful to periodically rebalance an arbitrary unbalanced BST. The proposed algorithm splits the tree into several subtrees and concurrently do ``Tree-to-Vine'' to these subtrees using multiple threads, and finally connects them into a complete vine; It also splits the vine into several semi-equal sized subvines and do ``Vine-to-Tree'' to these subvines using multiple threads, and combines them into a complete balanced tree. Our extensive experiments including BST generation, ``Tree-to-Vine'', and ``Vine-to-Tree'' parallelization comparisons show that this parallelized DSW algorithm performs much better compared to its counterpart sequential DSW algorithm.
