ABSTRACT:
A sorting apparatus is composed of sort processors connected in a pipeline fashion. Each sort processor 106 merge sorts data from the preceding sort processor and then outputs the merge sort result to the succeeding sort processor. The sort processor includes sort core portions and a front end internal storage and a back end internal storage for the respective sort core portions. Outside the sort processors, there are added external memories for the respective sort core portions. The front and back end internal storages and the external memories constitute a local memory. The sort core portions use, when a faulty area is found in the local memory, part of the front end and back end internal storages as an alternative memory.
