A Memory Bandwidth-Efficient Hybrid Radix Sort on GPUs

Summary: Memory-bandwidth-aware hybrid GPU radix sort halves transfers, delivering ~2.3× speedup on uniform data. A pipelined heterogeneous mode handles off-GPU/large inputs, enabling strong end-to-end gains over CPU radix sort on large key-value workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
