Abstract

In a computer system, data records stored in nonvolatile memory are read into a volatile memory and operated on in a sorting operation. A tournament-type sort is applied, with the tree size dynamically reconfigured within the volatile memory as a function of the number of data records to be sorted. The memory space occupied is reduced by the reconfigured tree and sort speed is augmented.
