In this research, we shall propose several parallel algorithms for the generation of the following combinatorial objects: permutations, subsets, and set partitions. The proposed parallel algorithms have the following advantages. First, they are time efficient and have low computation cost. Second, they can be executed on simple regular array processors, and hence are amenable to VLSI implementation. Third, they generate combinatorial objects in some desired order, such as lexicographic order or minimum change order. These advantages can be seen from the evaluation of the proposed designs and the comparisons of them with existing ones.
