ABSTRACT:
Prior to sorting, the amount of data in each record of a collection of records is normalized to a value chosen from a designated set of values. The designated set of values selected from a progression of numbers computed as an integer power of two. The normalized collection is partitioned into a plurality of sub-sets of records to be sorted in parallel. Sorted sub-sets of records are merged to arrange the records in a predetermined order.
