Memory-Adaptive External Sorting
Summary: Memory-adaptive external sorting reduces buffer usage when memory is constrained and exploits extra buffers when available. Extends to memory-aware sort-merge joins; experiments show gains for sorting and joining large relations under memory fluctuations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
