Abstract

We present a fast algorithm for sorting on a linear array with a reconfigurable pipelined bus system (LARPBS), one of the recently proposed parallel architectures based on optical buses. Our algorithm sorts N numbers in O(log N log logN) worst-case time using N processors. To our knowledge, the previous best sorting algorithm on this architecture has a running time of O(log2 N).
