Abstract
A processing device having a sequence of sorting elements arranged in an array. Each of the sorting elements stores a previously retained value therein and receives an input value from a previous sorting element. Each sorting element applies retention logic to select one of the input value or the retained value to be passed to the next sorting element in the array. The value that is passed to the next sorting element can either be set to be the larger, or the smaller, of the input value and the previously retained value, as desired. Rows of processing elements in the array operate in parallel such that large data streams are sorted in parallel (with the data values moving down from one row of processing elements to the next row such that the largest, or the smallest, data values accumulating in the final row of processing elements).
