Abstract

Nowadays, we need to speed up solving computer problems such as sorting. Because of limitations in processor's speed, using parallel algorithms is inevitable. In parallel algorithms, because of cost limitations and architecture complexity, it's not suitable to increase the number of processors to speed up. This is also infeasible where we have plenty of data. In this paper we issue a new sorting algorithm. The algorithm is implemented on ILLIAC architecture. The aim of issued algorithm is to reduce total cost of sorting with a trade off between the number of processors and execution time.
