A parallel integer sort for parallel arrays?

[Rodion Efremov]

Hello, everybody!

I am new to Open JDK and have no clue regarding the way developers communicate within this project so bare with me.

However, I have this parallel MSD radix sort for parallel arrays with long keys at https://github.com/coderodde/parallelsort

It systematically beats java.util.Arrays.parallelSort by factor of 4 on dual-core machine.

So my question boils down to following: Is there a need for such a sorting routine in JDK 9?

-TIA, Rodion
