Abstract
We introduce pruning decomposition, a new method of graph decom position which is very useful in developing a parallel algorithm for graph problems on EREW P-RAM. We present parallel algorithms that achieve the decomposition and an parallel algorithm for finding biconnected components of graphs based on the pruning decomposition. The complexity for both algorithms on EREW P-RAM is dominated by the spanning tree construction.
