Dynamic Memory Adjustment for External Mergesort
Summary: Dynamic memory adjustment for external mergesort enables run-time tuning of in-memory space to adapt to unknown input size. A concurrent-sorts memory-allocation policy improves throughput and latency under contention by limiting parallelism. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
