Abstract:

This paper revisits the pairwise sorting network introduced by Parberry in the early 90s. We provide a simple specification of the pairwise network which also clarifies its close resemblance to the more classic odd-even network introduced by Batcher in the mid 60s. Finally we illustrate that pairwise networks are better suited than odd-even networks for the construction of selection networks.
