Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe a sorting network of size 0(n log n) and depth 0(log n). A natural way of sorting is through consecutive halvings: determine the upper and lower halves of the set, proceed similarly within the halves, and so on. Unfortunately, while one can halve a set using only 0(n) comparisons, this cannot be done in less than log n (parallel) time, and it is known that a halving network needs (½)n log n comparisons. It is possible, however, to construct a network of 0(n) comparisons which halves in constant time with high accuracy. This procedure (e-halving) and a derived procedure (e-nearsort) are described below, and our sorting network will be centered around these elementary steps.

An efficient multiway merging algorithm

TL;DR: The aim of this algorithm is to mergek sorted lists, withm keys of each, into one, wherek can be any integer, and the merging process uses onlyk sorters instead of 2 sorters.

Sorting networks and their applications

TL;DR: To achieve high throughput rates today's computers perform several operations simultaneously; not only are I/O operations performed concurrently with computing, but also, in multiprocessors, several computing operations are done concurrently.

Space bounds for a game on graphs

TL;DR: It is shown that for each graph withn vertices and maximum in-degreed, there is a pebbling strategy which requires at mostc(d) n/logn pebbles, and this bound is tight to within a constant factor.

On non-linear lower bounds in computational complexity

TL;DR: It is shown that the graph of any algorithm for any one of a number of arithmetic problems (e.g. polynomial multiplication, discrete Fourier transforms, matrix multiplication) must have properties closely related to concentration networks.
