TL;DR: The problem of sorting a sequence of n elements on a parallel computer with k processors is considered and each achieves an asymptotic speed-up ratio of k with respect to the best sequential algorithm, which is optimal in the number of processors used.
Abstract: The problem of sorting a sequence of n elements on a parallel computer with k processors is considered. The algorithms we present can all be run on a single instruction stream multiple data stream computer. For large n, each achieves an asymptotic speed-up ratio of k with respect to the best sequential algorithm, which is optimal in the number of processors used.
