Sure, unless it's a laptop.
- eropple 7y agoI often wonder how much of the computational universe in “high tech” is indeed blinded by what we can stick in a laptop. That, and the idea of a polyphasic merge sort isn’t taught in ye olde boot camps, I guess.
- mark-r 7y agoI love a good merge sort, it's just built for chunking. I've used it to sort data that just barely fit on disk.
- rumanator 7y ago> Sure, unless it's a laptop. That's a self-imposed constraint, not a problem constraint. Computational resources are dirt cheap nowadays. Everyone can get free time in global scale clusters. The only reason anykne is stuck with a laptop to run number/data crunching tasks is because they want to.
