摘要
Conventional comparison sorting algorithms are generally of complexity N log (N). Address calculation methods have been described which asymptotically approach complexity N with increasing data size. One of these (Pigeonsort) has been implemented on a single Transputer and on a network connected in a tree configuration. The performance of the algorithm in both cases is compared with Quicksort. The activity of the network during execution of the algorithm is analysed and the efficiency of processor use is evaluated. © 1990.
