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