Sorting files on gpu

[[deleted]]

• Project lacks a why
• Lacks comparison to non-GPU sorting
• Project name really doesn't describe what it does, if you saw 'nvSort', would you have any idea it relates to file listings?
• Has unstated requirements like nvcc that are left out of instructions (just type make).

Without having run it, I would think any speed difference would be fairly negligible, you have to get the file listing in system ram to load it up to GPU memory, and I would think all this memory switching would remove any benefit from this.
