Abstract

It is shown how one can improve the reliability bound of the parallel sorting algorithm of Rajasekaran and Sen (1992) [7] that sorts uniformly distributed integer keys on a CRCW Parallel Random Access Machine (PRAM). The probability of success improves to 1-2 -Ω(nloglogn/logn) from the previous bound of 1-2 -Ω(n/(lognloglogn)) while retaining the Õ(logn) time bound for sorting n uniformly distributed integers on n/logn processors. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
