Abstract
This paper considers sorting in SIMD hypercube multiprocessors in the presence of node failures. The proposed algorithm correctly sorts up to 2n = N keys in a faulty SIMD hypercube of dimension n containing up to n - 1 faulty nodes. The proposed fault-tolerant algorithm employs radix sort. We use a pair of flood dimensions which helps to route data around the faulty processors during the movement of data. If all the key values to be sorted belong to the range 0 to M - 1, sorting can be accomplished efficiently in O(log M·log N) + O(log2N) time.
