Erm... No it isn't.

Have you ever written bitonic sort? It's not an easy algorithm to do quickly.

This seems to have implemented bitonic sort in just a few short primitives you can look up at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/intrinsics-guid...

--------

How would you write a fixed 16 element bitonic sort? In Python or whatever?

I dunno, the recursive template seems brilliant to me. Bitonic sort is innately a recursive process, but here we get compile time recursion and optimal assembly code at the end...
