Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) offer a unique platform for the implementation of high-performance sorting algorithms by combining inherent parallelism with customisable hardware architectures.

Sorting algorithms are a common exercise for new programmers, and for good reason: they introduce many programming ...
