Optimal sorting in linear arrays with minimum global control:

Abstract: "We investigate linear sorting arrays with a single global control wire. We show that the lower bound on the necessary time to sort n numbers in such an array is 2n, in contrast to 3n in arrays without global control. We present a two-phase sorting algorithm for arrays with a global c...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "We investigate linear sorting arrays with a single global control wire. We show that the lower bound on the necessary time to sort n numbers in such an array is 2n, in contrast to 3n in arrays without global control. We present a two-phase sorting algorithm for arrays with a global control wire that matches the time bound of 2n. As 2n is a lower bound for sorting arrays with sequential input and output, this implies that further global control cannot lead to any improvements as long as sequential I/O is assumed. The algorithm needs an array of minimum length [n/2]. The scheme can be easily extended to eliminate duplicate numbers. One possible application of the algorithm is in packet routing for algorithms that need presorted inputs."
