boost compute partial_sort

[WilliamTambellini]

Would it make sens to implement a boost::compute::partial_sort ?
Pure Cpp std::partial_sort :

Looping by calling several nth_element() could be a workaround I guess.

Yeah, we should be able to provide partial_sort() implementation. Are you interested in submitting a pull request for this?

Hi @kylelutz
I dont plan to implement it by myself but could help for testing/benchmarking.
Would the radix select from viennaCL be good enough :

?
