PARALLEL MERGE SORT.

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

A parallel implementation of merge sort on a CREW PRAM (concurrent-read exclusive-write parallel random access machine) is given that uses n processors and O(log n) time; the constant in the running time is small. Also given is a more complex version of the algorithm for the EREW (exclusive-read exclusive-write) PRAM; it also uses n processors and O(log n) time. The constant in the running time is still moderate, though not as small.
