Abstract
AbstractWe discuss how string sorting algorithms can be parallelized on modern multi-core shared memory machines. As a synthesis of the best sequential string sorting algorithms and successful parallel sorting algorithms for atomic objects, we propose string sample sort. The algorithm makes effective use of the memory hierarchy, uses additional word level parallelism, and largely avoids branch mispredictions. Additionally, we parallelize variants of multikey quicksort and radix sort that are also useful in certain situations.KeywordsSearch TreeSorting AlgorithmDynamic Load BalanceRadix SortHardware ThreadThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
