Comments on "A fast and efficient processor allocation scheme for mesh-connected multicomputers"

In a recent paper by B.S. Yoo and C.R. Das (2002), the so-called stack-based allocation (SBA) algorithm is claimed to be, at worst, O(B/sup 2/) expensive. In this paper, we present an exception for which the time complexity of SBA is at least O(B/sup 3/). Furthermore, we point out the discrepancy in the complexity analysis.
