Data sorting world record falls: Computer scientists break terabyte sort barrier in 60 seconds
Computer scientists from the University of California, San Diego broke ?the terabyte barrier? ? and a world record ? when they sorted more than one terabyte of data (1,000 gigabytes or 1 million megabytes) in just 60 seconds. During this 2010 ?Sort Benchmark? competition ? the ?World Cup of data sorting? ? the computer scientists from the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering also tied a world record for fastest data sorting rate. They sorted one trillion data records in 172 minutes ? and did so using just a quarter of the computing resources of the other record holder. Companies looking for trends, efficiencies and other competitive advantages have turned to the kind of heavy duty data sorting that requires the hardware muscle typical of data centers. The Internet has also created many scenarios where data sorting is critical. Advertisements on Facebook pages, custom recommendations on Amazon, and up-to-the-second search results on Google all result from sorting data sets as large as multiple petabytes.
