Percentile Finding Algorithm for Multiple Sorted Runs
Summary: Introduces an exact percentile-finding algorithm for multiple sorted runs to enable load-balanced parallel merges in external sort. By removing sort-key skew with an exact percentile method, it improves parallel sort speedup on shared-memory MIMD architectures; analysis and proofs are provided.
