This short post announces the second public version of our parallel string sorting project. It is a test framework and algorithm collection containing most sequential and parallel string sorting implementations.

The collection includes parallel super scalar string sample sort (pS⁵), which we developed and showed to have the highest parallel speedups on modern single-socket multi-core shared memory systems. Additionally, the collection now contains parallel multiway LCP-mergesort, which can be used to speed up string sorting on NUMA multi-socket machines.

See the parallel-string-sorting project page for our technical report and more information about version 0.6.
