Abstract: A parallel sorting apparatus is provided whose sorting processing is speeded up. A reference value calculation section calculates a plurality of reference values serving as boundaries of intervals used for allocating input data depending on the magnitude of a value. An input data aggregation section partitions the input data into a plurality of input data regions, and calculates, by parallel processing, mapping information used for allocating data in each of the partitioned input data regions to the plurality of intervals that have boundaries on the reference values calculated by the reference value calculation section. A data allocation section allocates, by parallel processing, data in each of the input data regions to the plurality of intervals in accordance with the mapping information calculated by the input data aggregation section. An interval sorting section individually sorts, by parallel processing, data in the plurality of intervals allocated by the data allocation section.
