Abstract: Sorting is one of the most basic problems of computer science and has been discussed continuously since the evolution of computer science. Several algorithms have been devised and applied and the work is still unfinished. For the parallel computing sorting is of same relevance as for sequential and very primitive problem domain too. Grain size is very important aspect of any parallel algorithm and is decisive in term of complexity. For the sorting problems minimum unit for sorting is two elements, since we apply a swap operation if required, and the two elements are sorted. This is considered to be the single step operation. In this paper we will increase primitive unit to four elements and four elements will be sorted in a single step. By applying this technique we can improve the performance of many parallel algorithms.
