Selection and sorting algorithms 
-------------------------------------------------------

This folder provides code for several selection and sorting algorithms. 
Specifically, it implements:

    * (C)aQSort and (C)aQSel: sequential and parallel versions according to:

This is the main directory. The contents of the subdirectories are 
the following:

    ~source:  contains the source code 

    ~source_perf_tests:  contains the source code of test programs 

    ~test-mkey: contains the scripts used to run experiments for multikey 
    quickselect 

    ~test-parparstr: contains the scripts used to run experiments for parallel
     (C)aQSort and (C)aQSel

Also contains the following files (apart from this file):

    compile: describes how to compile the test program
