NAME

Algorithm::Bitonic::Sort - Sorting numbers with Bitonic Sort

VERSION

Version 0.06

SYNOPSIS

Use Algorithm::Bitonic::Sort with the following style.

        use Algorithm::Bitonic::Sort;
        
        my @sample = (1,4,8,4,4365,2,67,33,345);
        my @result_inc = bitonic_sort( 1 ,@sample);     # incremental
        my @result_dec = bitonic_sort( 0 ,@sample);     # decremental

DESCRIPTION

Bitonic mergesort is a parallel algorithm for sorting. It is also used as a construction method for building a sorting network. This is an Perl 5 implementation of Ken Batcher's Bitonic mergesort.

Limitation

This is a enhanced version of Bitonic Sort which removed the limitation of original version. This module supports any amount of numbers.

The original Bitonic can only sort N numbers, which N is a power of 2.

EXPORT

bitonic_sort

SUBROUTINES

bitonic_sort

The First Parameter works as the ascending/decreasing selector. True (1 or any true value) means ascending (incremental), False (0 or any false value) means decreasing.

All other params will be treated as members/items to be sorted.
