asymptotically optimal. External sorting is sorting in an external memory setting. External sorting can be done via distribution sort, which is similar to...

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

primarily used for external sorting, and is more efficient than an ordinary merge sort when there are fewer than eight external working files (such as a...

merge is also an external sorting algorithm. A 2-way merge, or a binary merge, has been studied extensively due to its key role in merge sort. An example of...

queue is external sorting. In an external sort, there are more elements than can be held in the computer's memory. The elements to be sorted are initially...

internal sort is any data sorting process that takes place entirely within the main memory of a computer. This is possible whenever the data to be sorted is...
