Zusammenfassung:
We develop an algorithm for parallel disk sorting, whose I/O cost
approaches the lower bound and that guarantees almost perfect
overlap between I/O and computation. Previous algorithms have
either suboptimal I/O volume or cannot guarantee that I/O and
computations can always be overlapped. We give an efficient
implementation that can (at least) compete with the best practical
implementations but gives additional performance guarantees.
For the experiments we have configured a state of the art machine
that can sustain full bandwidth I/O with eight disks and is very cost
effective.
