Abstract

In this paper we present efficient, scalable and portable parallel algorithms written in the Coarse-Grained Multi computer (CGM) and the Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) models for the off-line clustering, the on-line retrieval and the update phases of the text retrieval problem based on the vector space model and using clustering to organize and handle a dynamic document collection. To the best of our knowledge, our parallel retrieval algorithms are the first ones analyzed under specific parallel models, which capture within a few parameters the characteristics of the parallel machine.
