Performance tests on merge sort and recursive merge sort for big data processing

Zbigniew Marszałek




Abstract

Merge sort algorithm is widely used in databases to organize and search for information. In the work the author describes some newly proposed not recursive version of the merge sort algorithm for large data sets. Tests of the algorithm confirm the effectiveness of the method and the stability of the proposed version.
