CUDA/Thrust GPU Implementation of "Can GPUs Sort Strings Efficiently?" HiPC'13

By: Aditya Deshpande and P J Narayanan

The code is tested with cuda-7.5

Compile by

make

Run code, output written to testcases/

bash run_sort.sh

To run on your own input file

./stringSortCvit <input file> <write output flag>


<write ouput flag> = 0 => do not write o/p file
<write output flag> = 1 => write o/p file suffixed with _string_sort_output
