Abstract
Data sorting is one of important pre-process to utilize huge data in modern society, but sorting spends a lot of time by sorting itself. In this paper, we presented hybrid sorting algorithm that splits array to sort concurrently in CPU and GPU. To do this, we decided most effective range of array based on hardware performance, then accomplished reducing whole sorting time by concurrent sorting on CPU and GPU. As shown in results of experiment, hybrid sorting improved about eight percent of sorting time in comparison with the sorting time using only GPU.
