Parallel Sort Library 2.0

Hello,

Author: Amine Moulay Ramdane

Description:

Parallel Sort Library that supports Parallel Quicksort, Parallel HeapSort
and Parallel MergeSort on Multicores systems.

Parallel Sort Library 2.0 uses my Thread Pool Engine and quicksort
many array parts - of your array - in parallel using Quicksort or HeapSort
or MergeSort and after that it finally merge them - with the merge() procedure -

Note: Parallel Quicksort gave me ~3x speed on four cores.

And please look at test.pas inside the zip file, it's a parallel quicksort example
- compile and execute it...

You can download Parallel Sort Library from:

Parallel Sort Library is very easy to use , and
here is an example in Object Pascal:

----------------------------------------

program test;

uses
{$IFDEF Delphi}cmem,{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF DELPHI2005+}cmem,{$ENDIF}
ParallelSort,sysutils,classes;

type

TStudent = Class
public
Name: string;
end;

var tab:Ttabpointer;
myobj:TParallelSort;
student:TStudent;
i,j:integer;
c_ok:boolean;

function comp(Item1, Item2: Pointer): Integer;

begin
if TStudent(Item1).name < TStudent(Item2).name then result:=-1;
if TStudent(Item1).name > TStudent(Item2).name then result:=1;
if TStudent(Item1).name = TStudent(Item2).name then result:=0;
end;

begin

randomize;

myobj:=TParallelSort.create(4,ctQuickSort);
// number of cores and the sort's type
// ctQuickSort or ctHeapSort or ctMergeSort ..

setlength(tab,100000);

for i := LOW(tab) to HIGH(Tab)
do
begin
student:=TStudent.create;
student.name:= 'Amine'+inttostr(random(2000000));
// student.name:=random(10000000);
tab:=student;

end;

myobj.sort(tab,@comp);

for i := LOW(tab) to HIGH(Tab)
do
begin
writeln(TStudent(tab).name,' ');
end;

j:=0;

for i := j to HIGH(Tab) do freeandnil(TStudent(tab));

setlength(tab,0);
myobj.free;
writeln('ok');
end.

--------------------------------

Language: FPC Pascal v2.2.0+ / Delphi 7+: http://www.freepascal.org/

Operating Systems: Win , Linux and Mac (x86).

Required FPC switches: -O3 -Sd -dFPC -dWin32 -dFreePascal

-Sd for delphi mode....

Required Delphi switches: -DMSWINDOWS -$H+

For Delphi 5,6,7 use -DDelphi

For Delphi 2005,2006,2007,2009,2010+ use the switch -DDELPHI2005+

Hello again,

I have updated my Parallel Sort Library to version 2.01 ,
now Parallel HeapSort is working properly.
