Can merge sort be easily implemented in parallel processing environments? Explain.
- It depends on the dataset characteristics
- No, it is a strictly sequential algorithm
- Only in specific cases
- Yes, it is well-suited for parallel processing
Merge sort is inherently suitable for parallel processing as its divide-and-conquer nature allows for concurrent processing of subproblems. Each recursive call can be executed independently, making it an efficient choice for parallel architectures.
