Sort Benchmark 1 is a set of world 's records that evaluate the progress that computer technology has been making on transaction processing. In the various sort benchmarks, the PennySort and Performance / Price Sort were defined to test the maximum cost efficiency of sort machines. Our program, THSort, is a two passes external sort program designed to exploit the potential of inexpensive general machines. Runs on our customized computer, THSort is able to sort 9.8 GB data 2 (105,000,000 records…
