Integer sorting on a mesh-connected array of processors

From MaRDI portal





The problem of sorting is of fundamental importance in computing. In sequential models of computation the difference between sorting general inputs and sorting integers in a fixed range has been well established. In a model where only comparisons between inputs are allowed a lower bound of \(\Omega(N\log N)\) for sorting \(N\) inputs is well known. However if we know the inputs fall in a polynomial-size range, an algorithm with complexity \(O(N)\) is possible. In this paper we study the effect of limiting the inputs to be integers in the range \([1\ldots N]\) in the case of sorting \(N=n^ 2\) inputs on an \(n\times n\) mesh-connected array of processors.
