Background of Sorting
 Sorting of data is needed everywhere
• Data Structures, Joins in databases, Searching Algorithms
 Simple algorithms required O(n2)
• Selection Sort, Insertion Sort, Bubble Sort
 Even advanced algorithm take O(nLogn)
• Merge Sort, Heap Sort, Cube Sort
 Parallel sorting solve the problem
• Bitonic Sort, Parallel Merge Sort

4.
SIMD Array Processor
 Special purpose
processor
• Ex: multi core, GPU
 Single Instruction ,
Multiple Data
• One instruction work on multiple
data items simultaneously

 Single Program Counter
 Multiple Processing Elements (PEs)

5.
Bitonic Sorting Algorithm
 List A: (3, 4, 7, 8) monotonically increasing.
 List B: (6, 5, 2, 1) monotonically decreasing.
 List AB: (3, 4, 7, 8, 6, 5, 2, 1) Bitonic list.
 Bitonic list is two monotonic lists concatenated
together, one increasing and one decreasing.
 For n elements n/2 comparators are using.
 Repeatedly build Bitonic lists and then sort them.
 Just logn stages are required to sort the Bitonic list.

7.
Time Complexity
 In line 2 a shared memory access is needed.
 Line 26 need one more operation to write
data back to the array.
 Within nested loop 2 memory references are
multiplied
