The parallel computational complexity or depth of growing network models is investigated. The networks considered are generated by preferential attachment rules where the probability of attaching a new node to an existing node is given by a power alpha of the connectivity of the existing node. Algorithms for generating growing networks very quickly in parallel are described and studied. The sublinear and superlinear cases require distinct algorithms. As a result, there is a discontinuous transition in the parallel complexity of sampling these networks corresponding to the discontinuous structural transition at alpha=1 , where the networks become scale-free. For alpha>1 , networks can be generated in constant time while for 0</=alpha<1 , logarithmic parallel time is required. The results show that these networks have little depth and embody very little history dependence despite being defined by sequential growth rules.
