Abstract

We present a more efficient CREW PRAM algorithm for integer sorting. This algorithm sorts n integers in { 0, 1, 2, ..., n 1/2} in O ((logn )3/2/loglogn ) time and O (n (logn /loglogn )1/2) operations. It also sorts n integers in {0, 1, 2,..., n −1} in O ((logn )3/2/loglogn ) time and O (n (logn /loglogn )1/2logloglogn ) operations. Previous best algorithm [13] on both cases has time complexity O (logn ) but operation complexity O (n (logn )1/2).
