NVIDIA CUDA Sample "radixSortThrust"
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|

--------
|
||||
OVERVIEW
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
This sample demonstrates a very fast and efficient parallel radix sort implemented in C for CUDA. The included RadixSort class can sort either key-value pairs (with float or unsigned integer keys) or keys only. It can also sort unsigned integer keys based on a varying number of least-significant bits ranging from 4 to 32 in multiples of 4.
|
||||
|
||||
This radix sort code and the underlying algorithm is discussed in detail in the paper "Designing Efficient Sorting Algorithms for Manycore GPUs". A PDF version of this paper is available at http://mgarland.org/files/papers/gpusort-ipdps09.pdf

||||
USAGE
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
To run a sort with default options (Sort 1M unsigned integer key-value pairs), just invoke the executable ("radixSort.exe" on Windows, "radixSort" otherwise).
|
||||
|
||||
The following command line options are available:
|
||||
|
||||
-n=<N> : number of elements to sort
|
||||
-keysonly : sort only an array of keys (the default is to sort key-value pairs)
|
||||
-float : use 32-bit float keys
|
||||
-keybits=<B> : Use only the B least-significant bits of the keys for the sort
|
||||
: B must be a multiple of 4. This option does not apply to float keys
|
||||
-quiet : Output only the number of elements and the time to sort
|
||||
-help : Output a help message
|
||||
|
||||
The RadixSort class can also be used within your application by building the radixsort.cu file into your application or library, and including the radixsort.h header file.
