Analysis of Multi-Sort Algorithm on Multi-Mesh of Trees (MMT) architecture

Abstract

Various sorting algorithms using parallel architectures have been proposed in the search for more efficient results. This paper introduces the Multi- Sort Algorithm for Multi-Mesh of Trees (MMT) Architecture for N = n4 elements with more efficient time complexity compared to previous architectures. The shear sort algorithm on Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) mesh model requires 4√N +O√N time for sorting N elements, arranged on a √N ×√N mesh, whereas Multi-Sort algorithm on the SIMD Multi-Mesh (MM) Architecture takes O(N1/4) time for sorting the same N elements, which proves that Multi-Sort is a better sorting approach. We have improved the time complexity of intrablock Sort. The Communication time complexity for 2D Sort in MM is O(n), whereas this time in MMT is O(log n). The time complexity of compare–exchange step in MMT is same as that in MM, i.e., O(n). It has been found that the time complexity of the Multi-Sort on MMT has been improved as on Multi-Mesh architecture.
