The Republic of Guinea is located on the west coast of Africa at about 11° North latitude. A large portion of Guinea's supply of protein is dried fish. The actual drying method operates under open air, the foodstuff being unprotected from unexpected rains, windborne dirt and dust, and from infestation by insects, rodents, and other animals. More, the deforestation rate is increasing year after year, depleting the source of fuel for drying. Practical ways of drying fish cheaply and sanitarily would be welcome.Recently, much work has been devoted to developing algorithms for parallel processors. Parallel algorithms have received a great deal of attention because of the advances in computer hardware technology. These parallel processors and algorithms have been used to improve computational speed, especially in the areas of sorting, evaluation of polynomials, arithmetic expressions, matrix and graphic problems.Sorting is an important operation in business and computer engineering applications. The literature contains many sorting algorithms, both sequential and parallel, which have been developed and used in practical applications. bubble sort, quick sort, insertion sort, enumeration sort, bucket and odd-even transposition sort. Ada, a new excellent programming language that offers high-level concurrent processing facilities called tasks, is used in this thesis to introduce, implement, compare and evaluate some of the parallel sorting algorithms. This thesis will also show that parallel sorting algorithms reduce the time requirement to perform the tasks. / Department of Computer Science
