Detailed statistics are given on the length of maximal sorted strings which result from the first (internal sort) phase of a merge sort onto tapes. It is shown that the strings produced by an ...

Abstract: This research work introduces a clustering-based in-place sorting algorithm, cluster sort. It is designed in such a way that it improves sorting efficiency by using data locality. It works ...
