3D-Sorter: 3D Design of a Resource-Aware Hardware Sorter for Edge Computing Platforms Under Area and Energy Consumption Constraints

Authors:A. NorollahZ. KazemiD. Hély

3D-Sorter is a hardware sorting architecture built on our multidimensional sorting algorithm. It arranges the input records as a three-dimensional matrix and sorts each dimension in a few phases using partial sorting, instead of comparing everything at once. The goal is a sorter small and frugal enough for edge components. The paper shows how it compares with the best hardware sorters of the time in logic, registers and power.
