Abstract: The compare and branch sequences required in a traditional sort algorithm can not efficiently exploit multiple execution units present in currently available high performance RISC processors. This is because of the long latency of the compare instructions and the sequential algorithm used in sorting. With the increased level of integration on a chip, this trend is expected to continue. We have developed new sort algorithms which eliminate almost all the compares, provide functional parallelism... (Update)

...created, most of its records are resident in main memory. Also since the sorting process continuously operates on a group of elements [34], there is a perceptible amount of cache to cache data transfers in the shared memory configurations. Query Q3 performs two join...

...of I O and computation during parallel disks merging of arbitrary runs. There are many good practical implementations of sorting (e.g. [19, 1, 30, 20]) that address parallel disks, overlapping of I O and computation, and low internal overhead. However, we are not aware of fast...
