Abstract
Using the divide and conquer strategy recursively, a quick parallel algorithm for sorting N elements on a N×N mesh is presented. It needs totally 3 N+O(N 1/3 log N) steps. Each step includes one comparison and one exchange at most. Because a low bound of steps needed by sorting N elements on N×N mesh is 3 N-O(N ,the algorithm is nearly optimal.
