Abstract

Provides tight upper and lower bounds, up to a constant factor, for the number of inputs and outputs between internal memory and secondary storage required for sorting-related problems. Secondary storage modeled as a magnetic disk; Optimal algorithms for the problems; Sorting algorithms using the same number of inputs and outputs.
