# ShaderOneSweep
This project is an HLSL compute shader implementation of the current state-of-the-art GPU sorting algorithm, Adinets and Merrill's [OneSweep](https://research.nvidia.com/publication/2022-06_onesweep-faster-least-significant-digit-radix-sort-gpus), an LSD radix sort that uses Merrill and Garland's [Chained Scan with Decoupled Lookback](https://research.nvidia.com/publication/2016-03_single-pass-parallel-prefix-scan-decoupled-look-back) to reduce the overall global data movement during a digit-binning pass from $3n$ to $2n$.

Given an input size of $2^{28}$ 32-bit uniform random keys and a 2080 Super, this implementation achieves a harmonic mean performance of 9.55 G keys/sec as opposed to the 10.9 G keys/sec achieved in the CUDA [CUB](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl) library.

# To Use This Project
1. Download or clone the repository.
2. Drag the contents of `src` into a desired folder within a Unity project.
3. Each sort has a compute shader and a dispatcher. Attach the desired sort's dispatcher to an empty game object. All sort dispatchers are named `SortNameHere.cs`.
4. Attach the matching compute shader to the game object. All compute shaders are named `SortNameHere.compute`. The dispatcher will return an error if you attach the wrong shader.
5. Ensure the slider is set to a non-zero value.
