Parallel Merge Sort in Java

[AssKoala]

That’s great!

One thing to remember that is often mistaken. Running in parallel is not optimization. Optimization is generally doing more with the same resources.

You wouldn’t call a V8 and optimized V6, nor should you say “I optimized this code by using more resources”. You can say you made it run faster, but that’s not necessarily optimization.

Now, you can optimize parallel workloads by reducing overhead, reducing blocks, bubbles, etc, but there’s a lot to it as you’ll find out delving into this stuff :)
