In this paper, we look at the complexity of designing algorithms without any bank conflicts in the shared memory of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs). Given input of size
n
,
w
processors and
w
memory banks, we study three fundamental problems: sorting, permuting and
w
-way partitioning (defined as sorting an input containing exactly
n
/
w
copies of every integer in [
w
]).
We solve sorting in optimal
$O(\frac{n}{w} \log n)$
time. When
n
≥
w
2
, we solve the partitioning problem optimally in
O
(
n
/
w
) time. We also present a general solution for the partitioning problem which takes
$O(\frac{n}{w} \log^3_{n/w} w)$
time. Finally, we solve the permutation problem using a randomized algorithm in
$O(\frac{n}{w} \log\log\log_{n/w} n)$
time. Our results show evidence that when working with banked memory architectures, there is a separation between these problems and the permutation and partitioning problems are not as easy as simple parallel scanning.
