The Quicksort process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quicksort on the fly returns the input of n reals in increasing natural order during the sorting process. Correctly normalized the running time up to returning the l-th smallest out of n seen as a process in l converges weakly to a limiting process with path in the space of cadlag functions.

A note on multipivot Quicksort
We analyse a generalisation of the Quicksort algorithm, where k uniformly at random chosen pivots are used for partitioning an array of n distinct keys. Specifically, the expected cost of this scheme is obtained, under the assumption of linearity of the cost needed for the partition process. The integration constants of the expected cost are computed using Vandermonde matrices.
متن کاملA Cost Optimal Parallel Quicksort on CREW PRAM
In this paper we introduce a cost optimal parallel quicksort algorithm. It sorts an array of n elements in O(log n) time using O( n n log ) processors on a CREW PRAM. That is, the total cost is O(n log n), the same as an average sequential quicksort algorithm. The key feature of the proposed algorithm is that it partitions the array concurrently. This removes the performance bottleneck proposed...
متن کاملPartial quicksort and weighted branching processes
In this dissertation we look at different two models of sorting algorithms based on divideand-conquer algorithms. Quicksort algorithm, sort an unsorted array of n distinct elements. Partial Quicksort sorts the l smallest elements in a list of length n. Both stochastic divide-and-conquer algorithms are widely studied. Our algorithm Quicksort on the fly provides online the first smallest, then se...
متن کاملQuicksort with median of medians is considered practical
Quicksort[2, 1, 3] is one of the most efficient and widely used sorting algorithms. The major drawback of quicksort is that worst case time complexity of naive implementations of quicksort is O(n2) with input size n. In order to avoid this worst case behavior, a variant of quicksort, so-called introsort[4] 1 , is often used. There exists another solution to keep the worst case complexity of qui...
متن کاملDesign and Experiment of a Communication-Aware Parallel Quicksort with Weighted Partition of Processors
In most parallel algorithms, inter-processor communication cost is much more than computing cost within a processor. So, it is very important to reduce the amount of inter-processor communication. This paper presents the design and experiment of a new communication-aware parallel quicksort scheme for distributed-memory multiprocessor systems. The key idea of the proposed scheme is the weighted ...
