Abstract
As the "gigaherts war" comes to an end, the computer industry has turned to increasing the number of processors instead of their speeds as a way to increase performance. A quick look at the progress of this movement reveals a tendency for CPU design to mimic modern GPU design and vice versa. This progression from single to multiple processors requires new ideas and methods to utilize systems efficiently. With this in mind, we investigate a problem common to most programs, sorting and use its example to try to understand the difficulties of adapting to parallel systems. We also examine the disigns of highly parallel systems like modern GPUs and future CPU and GPU hybrids like Sony's Cell and Intel's Larrabee.
