You might check out Ian Foster's free online book on parallel
algorithms.  It is worth buying if you're going to be doing a lot of
parallel programming.  Or there are two or three other decent textbooks
on parallel programming at the algorithm level.  I don't recall offhand
if Foster covers sorting, but you can easily found out for free.

Remember, GIYF here -- just enter search strings like "Foster Parallel
Programming" to find his book, "Parallel Sorting Algorithms" or the like
too see if there is anything out there on the web.
