25 /** @file parallel/balanced_quicksort.h
26  * @brief Implementation of a dynamically load-balanced parallel quicksort.
27  *
28  * It works in-place and needs only logarithmic extra memory.
29  * The algorithm is similar to the one proposed in
30  *
31  * P. Tsigas and Y. Zhang.
32  * A simple, fast parallel implementation of quicksort and
33  * its performance evaluation on SUN enterprise 10000.
34  * In 11th Euromicro Conference on Parallel, Distributed and
35  * Network-Based Processing, page 372, 2003.
36  *
37  * This file is a GNU parallel extension to the Standard C++ Library.
