The following are the result using different number of N: N number and N processors clock 1 clock 2 clock3 clock4 clock5 clock6 N=1 ---> 530 N=2 ---> 530 743 N=4 ---> 530 743 956 N=8 ---> 530 743 956 1169 N=16 ---> 530 743 956 1169 1382 N=32 ---> 530 743 956 1169 1382 1595 In this case, the differences are the same 213 cycles (i.e. the algorithm is o(logN) ). This results have more than one clock because of the strucure of our program. The parallel prefix problem can be solved in logN with N processors.
