Abstract

In this paper we present a distributed sorting algorithm, which is a variation on exchange sort, i.e., neighboring elements that are out of order are exchanged. We derive the algorithm by transforming a sequential algorithm into a distributed one. The transformation is guided by the distribution of the data over processes. First we discuss the case of two processes, and then the general case of one or more processes. Finally we propose a more efficient solution for the general case.
