Abstract

In this paper we describe two well known parallel sorting algorithms, the bitonic mergesort and the samplesort and analyze performance implications of different implementation strategies. Then we present performance measurements from two similar parallel computers, the NEC Cenju-3 and the IBM SP2, and provide an analysis of the behavior of the two algorithms and the two parallel computers from our results.
