Sorting short arrays on the GPU for the interaction sorting method in molecular dynamics
Keywords:
molecular dynamics; interaction sorting; GPGPU.Abstract
The need for sorting large number of short arrays with the number of elements in the range of 30 ? n ? 120 occurs for the interaction sorting method in molecular dynamics. A modification of the rank-sorting algorithm for solving this problem, implemented for the GPGPU (Tesla C2050), is presented. It is shown that the proposed algorithm outperforms other sorting algorithms implemented for the GPGPU.
