/** @file parallel/balanced_quicksort.h
* @brief Implementation of a dynamically load-balanced parallel quicksort.
*
* It works in-place and needs only logarithmic extra memory.
* The algorithm is similar to the one proposed in
*
* P. Tsigas and Y. Zhang.
* A simple, fast parallel implementation of quicksort and
* its performance evaluation on SUN enterprise 10000.
* In 11th Euromicro Conference on Parallel, Distributed and
* Network-Based Processing, page 372, 2003.
*
* This file is a GNU parallel extension to the Standard C++ Library.
