Merge Sort
Bingheng Wang Dept. of Computer Science Florida Institute of Technology Melbourne FL 32904 [email protected] ABSTRACT Given a list of elements, we rearrange the list with ascending or descending order. So far the existing approaches involve Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, Selection Sort ( respectively in worst case) performing slow. Now we introduce a new algorithm Merge Sort to solve the problem ...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Merge Sort and Quick Sort: MQSORT
Sorting is considered as a fundamental operation in computer science as it is used as an intermediate step in many operations. Sorting refers to the operation of arranging data in some given order such as increasing or decreasing, with numerical data, or alphabetically, with character data. An algorithm is any well-defined procedure or set of instructions, that takes some input in the form of s...
متن کاملA hardware sort - merge system
A hardware sort-merge system which can sort large files rapidly is proposed. It consists of an initial sorter and a pipelined merger. In the initial sorter, record sorting is divided into two parts: key-pointer sorting and record rearranging. The pipelined merger is composed of several intelligent disks each of which has a simple processor and some buffers. The hardware sortmerge system can sor...
متن کاملModified Merge Sort Algorithm
Given a sequence of N elements a1, a2, a3, ..., aN. The desired output will be a’1, a’2, a’3,..., a’N such that a’1≤, a’2≤, a’3≤...≤a’N using merge sort. In this paper, we propose a modification to the existing merge sort algorithm to sort the given elements when the input sequence (or a part of it) is in ascending or descending order in a more efficient way by reducing the number of comparison...
متن کاملMerge Sort Algorithm
Given an array with n elements, we want to rearrange them in ascending order. Sorting algorithms such as the Bubble, Insertion and Selection Sort all have a quadratic time complexity that limits their use when the number of elements is very big. In this paper, we introduce Merge Sort, a divide-andconquer algorithm to sort an N element array. We evaluate the O(NlogN) time complexity of merge sor...
