Sorting is a common problem in computer science.There are lot of well-known sorting algorithms created for sequential execution on a single processor.Recently, hardware platforms enable to create wide parallel algorithms.We have standard processors consist of multiple cores and hardware Bike Parts - Wheel Parts accelerators like GPU.The graphic cards with their Phosphatidyl Serine parallel architecture give new possibility to speed up many algorithms.
In this paper we describe results of implementation of a few different sorting algorithms on GPU cards and multicore processors.Then hybrid algorithm will be presented which consists of parts executed on both platforms, standard CPU and GPU.
