[h4 Radix Sort]

A type of algorithm that sorts based upon distribution instead of by comparison.
Wikipedia has an article about Radix Sorting.
A more detailed description of various Radix Sorting algorithms is provided here:

Donald Knuth. The Art of Computer Programming,
Volume 3: Sorting and Searching, Second Edition. Addison-Wesley, 1998.
ISBN 0-201-89685-0. Section 5.2.5: Sorting by Distribution, pp.168-179.

[h4 Introsort]

A high-speed comparison-based sorting algorithm that takes ['[bigo](N * log(N))] time.
See __introsort and
Musser, David R. (1997). "Introspective Sorting and Selection Algorithms",
Software: Practice and Experience (Wiley) 27 (8), pp 983-993,
available at [@http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~musser/gp/introsort.ps  Musser Introsort].

[h4 American Flag Sort]

A high-speed hybrid string sorting algorithm that __string_sort is partially based
upon.  See __american_flag and Peter M. McIlroy, Keith Bostic, M. Douglas McIlroy. Engineering Radix Sort,  Computing Systems 1993.

[h4 Adaptive Left Radix (ARL)]

ARL (Adaptive Left Radix) is a hybrid cache-friendly integer sorting algorithm
with comparable speed on random data to __integer_sort,
but does not have the optimizations for worst-case performance,
causing it to perform poorly on certain types of unevenly distributed data.

Arne Maus, [@http://www.nik.no/2002/Maus.pdf ARL, a faster in-place, cache friendly sorting algorithm],
presented at NIK2002, Norwegian Informatics Conference, Kongsberg, 2002. Tapir, ISBN 82-91116-45-8.

[h4 Original Spreadsort]

The algorithm that __integer_sort was originally based on.
__integer_sort uses a smaller number of key bits at a time for better cache efficiency
than the method described in the paper.
The importance of cache efficiency grew as CPU clock speeds increased
while main memory latency stagnated.
