In this brief contribution, we present a constant time sorting algorithm by adopting a 3-D reconfigurable mesh with only O(n3/2) processors. Our algorithm is developed on an n1/2 x n1/2 x n1/2 3-D reconfigurable mesh. Moreover, we further extend the result to k-dimensional reconfigurable meshes for k greater-than-or-equal-to 3. Consequently, an O(4k+1) time sorting algorithm is obtained by adopting an n1/(k-1) x n1/(k-1) x ... x n1/(k-1)k-dimensional reconfigurable mesh of size O(n1+1/(k-1)). Hence, constant time sorting using O(n1+epsilon) processors, where O < epsilon much less than 1, can he realized by adopting reconfigurable meshes of high dimensions. |
