Abstract Previous work identifying depth-optimal n-channel sorting networks for 9 ≤ n ≤ 16 is based on exploiting symmetries of the first two layers. However, the naive generate-and-test approach typically applied does not scale. This paper revisits the problem of generating two-layer prefixes modulo symmetries. An improved notion of symmetry is provided and a novel technique based on regular languages and graph isomorphism is shown to generate the set of non-symmetric representations. An empirical evaluation demonstrates that the new method outperforms the generate-and-test approach by orders of magnitude and easily scales until n = 40.
