An Adaptive Framework towards Analyzing the Parallel Merge Sort

Husain Ullah Khan | Rajesh Tiwari ^[2]

Abstract: The parallel computing on loosely coupled architecture has been evolved now a day because of the availability of fast and, inexpensive processors and advancements in communication technologies. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of parallel merge sort algorithm on parallel programming environments such as MPI. The MPI libraries has been used to established the communication and synchronization between the processes Merge sort is analyze in this paper because it is an efficient divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm. it is easier to understand than other useful divide-and-conquer strategies Due to the importance of distributed computing power of workstations or PCs connected in a local area network. Our aim is to study the performance evaluation of parallel merge sort.
