Slowing down sorting networks to obtain faster sorting algorithms

Abstract

Megiddo introduced a technique for using a parallel algorithm for one problem to construct an efficient serial algorithm for a second problem. We give a general method that trims a factor of O(logn) time (or more) for many applications of this technique.
