Optimized Parallel Counting Sort Algorithm for Distinct Numeric Values on Biswapped Hyper Hexa-Cell Optoelectronic Network

The optoelectronic Biswapped-Hyper Hexa-Cell is a recently reported recursive and a symmetrical architecture of Biswapped Family. This symmetrical network has claimed and proved to be advantageous in terms of network diameter, bisection width, minimum node-degree and network cost compared to its counterpart architecture of OTIS family named ‘OTIS Hyper Hexa-Cell’ and traditional grid-based architecture of Biswapped family named ‘Biswapped-Mesh’. In this paper, we present a novel and efficient parallel algorithm for counting sort for sorting distinct numeric values on dh-dimensional Biswapped-Hyper Hexa-Cell optoelectronic network. The parallel algorithm demands 10d_h+12+ log_2⁡〖S_A 〗 electronic and 10 optical moves, where SA is the size of count array: Acip[SA], and SA equals to maximal minus minimal numeric value plus one. On the basis of analysis, it is concluded that proposed algorithm delivers better performance since speedup and efficiency improved for worst case scenario (difference between maximal and minimal data values becomes larger) with the increase of only few communication moves required for sorting.
