On a recent Web seminar here, I heard that the standard template library sort was faster. It definitely was faster. When we made the code parallel,VTune pointed to this revised code as containing a LOCK which keeps it the stl code from actually running in parallel efficiently.</P> <P>Is there a better sort available (linking Microsoft Thread Safe libraries)? Is it possible this goes away in Release version?</P> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 19:43:35 GMT markpark 2008-06-02T19:43:35Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Moderncode-for-Parallel/Preferred-Sort-Routine/m-p/879232#M3296 <P>We are making some code parallel which contains qsort().
