A Top-Down Parallel Semisort
2015
Proceedings of the 27th ACM on Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures - SPAA '15
Semisorting is the problem of reordering an input array of keys such that equal keys are contiguous but different keys are not necessarily in sorted order. Semisorting is important for collecting equal values and is widely used in practice. For example, it is the core of the MapReduce paradigm, is a key component of the database join operation, and has many other applications. We describe a (randomized) parallel algorithm for the problem that is theoretically efficient (linear work and
