A Bitonic sorter is a parallel sorting algorithm that is particularly well-suited for hardware implementation and for use in parallel computing environments. It is based on the concept of a "bitonic sequence," which is a sequence that first monotonically increases and then monotonically decreases, or can be rotated to achieve that form.
