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...

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...

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...

consecutive Fibonacci numbers. Fibonacci numbers are used in a polyphase version of the merge sort algorithm in which an unsorted list is divided into two lists...

tape merge. The oscillating merge sort "was designed for tapes that can be read backward and is more efficient generally than either the polyphase or cascade...

for a particular sort/merge application, the sort/merge program does not choose the most efficient technique, you can request sort to use another technique...
