If you wanted to show the effects of parallelization on the speed of a sort, and could only pick one algorithm to demonstrate this, which would it be? I have found quite a few that lend themselves to ...

Novel “Manycore” architectures, such as graphics processors, are high-parallel and high-performance shared-memory architectures born to solve specific problems such as the graphical ones. Those ...
