Spreadsort is an algorithm designed for efficiently sorting large datasets, particularly in environments where data is distributed across multiple processors or machines. It is particularly effective for handling **multi-key sorting**, where records must be sorted based on multiple fields. Spreadsort aims to balance the load among available resources while minimizing communication overhead, which is often a significant bottleneck in distributed systems.
