The pairwise sorting network is a sorting network discovered and published by Ian Parberry in 1992 in Parallel Processing Letters.^[1] The pairwise sorting network has the same cost (number of comparators) and delay as the odd-even mergesort network. It requires $n(\log n)(\log n-1)/4+n-1$ comparators and has depth $(\log n)(\log n+1)/2$ .
