Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for extracting elements from distributed arrays on a parallel processing system. The system includes a module that populates a result array with globally largest elements from input arrays, a module that generates a partition element, a module that counts the number of local elements greater than the partition element, and a module that determines the globally largest elements. The method for extracting elements from distributed arrays on a parallel processing system includes populating a result array with globally largest elements from input arrays, generating a partition element, counting the number of local elements greater than the partition and determining the globally largest elements.
