Everyone knows about what sorting is. There are so many computer algorithms that have emerged to support sorting. Some of the well-known algorithms are quick sort, heap sort, merge sort, etc.
All these sorting algorithms work based on sequential sorting. This means a single thread is used to perform the complete sorting operation. However, this approach is quite useful when the requirement is to handle low to medium levels of data. For a huge dataset (in billions), sequential sorting does not scale well. This is where we need to use ‘Parallel sort.’
