Efficient Implementation of Sorting on Multi-Core SIMD CPU Architecture
Summary: SIMD-optimized MergeSort with cache-efficient multiway merging achieves 3.3× scalar speedup and sorts 64M floats in <0.5s on a 4-core CPU. Analytical and cycle-accurate studies show scalability across SIMD widths and 32+ cores. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
