A parallel algorithm for generating all the k! permutations of k P k for every (1≤k≤n) is presented. The architecture consists of a linear processor array with n elements. The network is VLSI implementable and fault tolerant. With a simple modification in the algorithm performed by the processors, the network is able to generate combinations
