  Abstract

In this paper we propose parallel sorting algorithm, taking 0(n^x log n)time complexity, 0(n^x log n) cost(parallel running time * number of peocessors) and 0(n^1-x n^x)data movement complexity under the ERWW-PRAM model. The methods for solving these problems similar. Parallel algorithm finds pivot for partitioning the data into ordered subsets of approximately equal size by using encording pointers.
