Hello
Parallel Quicksort using two cores, it is for educational purpose...
It uses my Thread Pool Engine and quicksort two arrays in parallel
and merge them....
Note: On Delphi it gave me 1.7x on two cores - with more optimization,
delphi will give you better scalability...- . Freepascal gave me just 1.2x,
so, FreePascal still have to be optimized on 'some' parts for better parallel
computing...
And please look at pqsort.pas inside the zip file - compile and execute it...
You can download Parallel Quicksort from:
