Abstract
A sorter receives a list of elements to be sorted. The elements are supplied to a communication bus. A plurality of processing modules are coupled to the communication bus and examine each list element supplied on the bus to see if the list element has a value that is within a range of values processed by the list element. The range of values of the list are subdivided to ranges allocated to the processing modules. When a processing modules determines an element in the bus is within its range, it stores the value and sorts the value in storage dedicated to storing a sorted list of values with the allocated range.
