In this poster abstract we will report on a case study on implementing the Heapsort algorithm in hardware and software and comparing their time and energy consumption. Our experiment shows that the Hardware implementation is more energy efficient, but slower than the Software implementation due to a low clock frequency. It also indicate that the optimal degree of parallelization differs when optimizing for time compared to optimizing for time.
