Sample: Merge Sort
Minimum spec: SM 2.0

This sample implements a merge sort (also known as Batcher's sort), algorithms belonging to the class of sorting networks. While generally subefficient on large sequences compared to algorithms with better asymptotic algorithmic complexity (i.e. merge sort or radix sort), may be the algorithms of choice for sorting batches of short- to mid-sized (key, value) array pairs. Refer to the excellent tutorial by H. W. Lang http://www.iti.fh-flensburg.de/lang/algorithmen/sortieren/networks/indexen.htm
