Was that qsort implementation on CPU cache friendly and optimized for SSE ?
To make a fair comparison you have to take the best CPU implementation
and compare it to best GPU implementation. Because if not, you are
comparing full throttled GPU vs lazy CPU.
Check this paper on how hash join was optimized 17x when SSE
instructions were used.
