Original Abstract

Fast sorting is an important step in many parallel algorithms, which require data ranking, ordering or partitioning. Parallel sorting is a widely researched subject, and many algorithms were developed in the past. In this paper, the focus is on implementing highly efficient sorting routines for the sparse linear algebra operations, such as parallel sparse matrix - matrix multiplication, or factorization. We propose a fast and simple to implement variant of parallel radix sort algorithm, suitable for GPU architecture.

Keywords

Parallel sorting, radix sort, sparse matrix, matrix-matrix multiplication.
