Function sort

boost::compute::sort

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/compute/algorithm/sort.hpp>


template<typename Iterator, typename Compare> 
  void sort(Iterator first, Iterator last, Compare compare, 
            command_queue & queue = system::default_queue());
template<typename Iterator> 
  void sort(Iterator first, Iterator last, 
            command_queue & queue = system::default_queue());

Description

Sorts the values in the range [first, last) according to compare.

For example, to sort a vector on the device:

// create vector on the device with data
float data[] = { 2.f, 4.f, 1.f, 3.f };
boost::compute::vector<float> vec(data, data + 4, queue);

// sort the vector on the device
boost::compute::sort(vec.begin(), vec.end(), queue);

The sort() algorithm can also be directly used with host iterators. This example will automatically transfer the data to the device, sort it, and then transfer the data back to the host:

std::vector<int> data = { 9, 3, 2, 5, 1, 4, 6, 7 };

boost::compute::sort(data.begin(), data.end(), queue);

Parameters:

compare

comparison function (by default less)

first

first element in the range to sort

last

last element in the range to sort

queue

command queue to perform the operation
