Parallel permutation and sorting algorithms and a new generalized connection network

Journal Article · · J. Assoc. Comput. Mach.; (United States)
O(k log n) algorithms are obtained to permute and sort n data items on cube and perfect shuffle computers with n/sup 1+1/k/ processing elements, 1>k>log n. These algorithms lead directly to a generalized-connection-network construction having o(k log n) delay and o(kn/sup 1+1/k/log n) contact pairs. This network has the advantage that the switches can be set in o(k log n) time by either a cube or perfect shuffle computer with n/sup 1+1/k/ processing elements. 23 references.
