A NEW EFFICIENT ALGORITHM BASED ON ODD-EVEN TRANSPOSITION SORT ALGORITHM FOR MERGESORT ON GRID COMPUTER Zaidatul Aqmar binti Zakaria #1, Mohamed Faidz Mohamed Said #2 # Universiti Teknologi MARA 70300 Seremban Negeri Sembilan, MALAYSIA 1 zaiaqmar74@gmail.com 2 faidzms@ieee.org Abstract –This paper discussed about a new parallel sorting algorithm, which is imitative from the odd-even Merge Sort algorithm, titled “partition and concurrent merging” (PCM). To categorize all the components, the comparisons of individual elements must be generated professionally. A divide and conquer strategy Merge Sort are used to sort an array proficiently while making a smallest number of contrasts between the array components. Merge sort is known as one of the most effective ways to figure out the sorting problem. The research recommends that it is approachable to knowing optimizations. A fast variation of Merge sort also has been proposed significantly in this paper. So, it is quite efficient for using the Odd-Even Transposition sort algorithm by Merge Sort.
