Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a novel sorting algorithm which is implemented on Diamond architecture. This algorithm sorts n data elements with 7/4n processors. There are various architectures which use parallel algorithms but we always attempt to find new and optimal ones. Sorting algorithms with minimum comparisons, while there is no need for extra space to store data elements, is always concerned as standing open problem. This EREW PRAM algorithm runs n data elements in O(log2 n) time using 7/4n processors.
