This adds OpenMP acceleration to quicksort, in addition to making some changes to the testing code. On my current testing system, this gives up to a 3x speedup, though I think more may be achieved on a stronger system.
Benchmarks:
10m
1m
And to show that there does not seem to be a regression with small sizes due to the SIMD logic:
128
In addition, this adds larger tests for quicksort to test the OpenMP logic. Out of concern for the runtime of the test suite, I modified both these new tests and the older kv tests to only use the larger sizes for the main sort, the only one that uses OpenMP and thus needs them. I believe this should result in a noticeable net reduction in the runtime of the test suite.
