I was looking into this a few months ago.  Here are some good papers I 
found:

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/393851.html  -- Communications Conscious 
Radix Sort

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/569483.html  -- Parallel Algorithms for 
Personalized Communication and Sorting With an Experinmental Study

Martin Schmollinger: Improving Communication Sensitive Parallel Radix 
Sort for Unbalanced Data. Euro-Par 2003 
<http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/%7Eley/db/conf/europar/europar2003.html#Schmollinger03>: 
885-893

Schmollinger's PhD dissertation has a good chapter on this as well.
