Abstract

Based on the current fiber optic technology, a new computational model, called a linear array with a reconfigurable pipelined bus system (LARPBS), is proposed in this paper. A parallel quicksort algorithm is implemented on the model, and its time complexity is analyzed. For a set of N numbers, the quicksort algorithm reported in this paper runs in O(log2 N) average time on a linear array with a reconfigurable pipelined bus system of size N. Besides proposing a new algorithm on the model, some basic data movement operations involved in the algorithm are discussed. We believe that these operations can be used to design other parallel algorithms on the same model. Future research in this area is also identified in this paper.
