In this book we discuss the state of the art in the design and analysis of external memory or em algorithms and data structures, where the goal is to exploit locality in order to reduce the io. In some cases the inmemory chunks maybe sorted using an inmemory intern. Algorithms, on the other hand, are used to manipulate the data contained in these data. Because the records must reside in peripheral or external memory, such sorting methods are called external sorts. As a consequence, many external sorting algorithms have been devised. When programmer collects such type of data for processing, he would require to store all of them in computers main memory. Sorting refers to ordering data in an increasing or decreasing fashion according to some linear relationship among the data items.
