computer science, merge sort (also commonly spelled as mergesort and as merge-sort) is an efficient, general-purpose, and comparison-based sorting algorithm....

A polyphase merge sort is a variation of a bottom-up merge sort that sorts a list using an initial uneven distribution of sub-lists (runs), primarily used...

In computer science, merge-insertion sort or the Ford–Johnson algorithm is a comparison sorting algorithm published in 1959 by L. R. Ford Jr. and Selmer...

distribution sorting, which resembles quicksort, and external merge sort, which resembles merge sort. External merge sort typically uses a hybrid sort-merge strategy...

sorting is important for optimizing the efficiency of other algorithms (such as search and merge algorithms) that require input data to be in sorted lists...

Block sort, or block merge sort, is a sorting algorithm combining at least two merge operations with an insertion sort to arrive at O(n log n) (see Big...

inputs lists in sorted order. These algorithms are used as subroutines in various sorting algorithms, most famously merge sort. The merge algorithm plays...

more advanced algorithms such as quicksort, heapsort, or merge sort. However, insertion sort provides several advantages: Simple implementation: Jon Bentley...

Cascade merge sort is similar to the polyphase merge sort but uses a simpler distribution. The merge is slower than a polyphase merge when there are fewer...

More efficient algorithms such as quicksort, timsort, or merge sort are used by the sorting libraries built into popular programming languages such as...

Oscillating merge sort or oscillating sort is a variation of merge sort used with tape drives that can read backwards. Instead of doing a complete distribution...

The sort-merge join (also known as merge join) is a join algorithm and is used in the implementation of a relational database management system. The basic...

Timsort is a hybrid, stable sorting algorithm, derived from merge sort and insertion sort, designed to perform well on many kinds of real-world data....

k-way merge algorithms or multiway merges are a specific type of sequence merge algorithms that specialize in taking in k sorted lists and merging them...

1961. It is still a commonly used algorithm for sorting. Overall, it is slightly faster than merge sort and heapsort for randomized data, particularly...

shaker sort is used primarily as an educational tool. More performant algorithms such as quicksort, merge sort, or timsort are used by the sorting libraries...

Finally, sort the two segments recursively. Merge sort: Divide the list of elements in two parts, sort the two parts individually and then merge it. Various...

considered to be a sorted list of one element, and continues through all the columns until the last merges them into a single, sorted list. Because the...

migrated across media in rolling batches, using an algorithm reminiscent of merge sort. Such tuning involves writing data in a sequential manner as opposed to...

input Sorting linked lists (in which case merge sort requires minimal extra space) Parallel sorting; merge sort parallelizes even better than quicksort...

The Sort/Merge utility is a mainframe program to sort records in a file into a specified order, merge pre-sorted files into a sorted file, or copy selected...
