//
// This file contains functions to:
//
// -perform bitonic merges on pairs of sorted lists, held in
// registers. Each list contains N * kWarpSize (multiple of 32)
// elements for some N.
// The bitonic merge is implemented for arbitrary sizes;
// sorted list A of size N1 * kWarpSize registers
// sorted list B of size N2 * kWarpSize registers =>
// sorted list C if size (N1 + N2) * kWarpSize registers. N1 and N2
// are >= 1 and don't have to be powers of 2.
//
// -perform bitonic sorts on a set of N * kWarpSize key/value pairs
// held in registers, by using the above bitonic merge as a
// primitive.
// N can be an arbitrary N >= 1; i.e., the bitonic sort here supports
// odd sizes and doesn't require the input to be a power of 2.
//
// The sort or merge network is completely statically instantiated via
// template specialization / expansion and constexpr, and it uses warp
// shuffles to exchange values between warp lanes.
//
// A note about comparsions:
//
// For a sorting network of keys only, we only need one
// comparison (a < b). However, what we really need to know is
// if one lane chooses to exchange a value, then the
// corresponding lane should also do the exchange.
// Thus, if one just uses the negation !(x < y) in the higher
// lane, this will also include the case where (x == y). Thus, one
// lane in fact performs an exchange and the other doesn't, but
// because the only value being exchanged is equivalent, nothing has
// changed.
// So, you can get away with just one comparison and its negation.
//
// If we're sorting keys and values, where equivalent keys can
// exist, then this is a problem, since we want to treat (x, v1)
// as not equivalent to (x, v2).
//
// To remedy this, you can either compare with a lexicographic
// ordering (a.k < b.k || (a.k == b.k && a.v < b.v)), which since
// we're predicating all of the choices results in 3 comparisons
// being executed, or we can invert the selection so that there is no
// middle choice of equality; the other lane will likewise
// check that (b.k > a.k) (the higher lane has the values
// swapped). Then, the first lane swaps if and only if the
// second lane swaps; if both lanes have equivalent keys, no
// swap will be performed. This results in only two comparisons
// being executed.
//
// If you don't consider values as well, then this does not produce a
// consistent ordering among (k, v) pairs with equivalent keys but
// different values; for us, we don't really care about ordering or
// stability here.
//
// I have tried both re-arranging the order in the higher lane to get
// away with one comparison or adding the value to the check; both
// result in greater register consumption or lower speed than just
// perfoming both < and > comparisons with the variables, so I just
// stick with this.

// This function merges kWarpSize / 2L lists in parallel using warp
// shuffles.
// It works on at most size-16 lists, as we need 32 threads for this
// shuffle merge.
//
// If IsBitonic is false, the first stage is reversed, so we don't
// need to sort directionally. It's still technically a bitonic sort.
