Sorting algorithms are widely used in many computing applications. There are many sorting algorithms, such as enumeration or rank sort, bubble sort, and merge sort. All algorithms have different levels of complexity, so it takes a different amount of time to sort a given array. For a large array, all algorithms take a long time to complete. If this can be accelerated using CUDA, then it can be of great help in any computing application.
To show an example of how CUDA can accelerate different sorting algorithms, we will implement a rank sort algorithm in CUDA.
