Design Distributed Sorting Around an Explicit Helper Contract

You are asked to explain how you would sort data that is spread across multiple workers, given that the environment provides a helper API for distributed computation. Describe the algorithm and the helper capabilities you would check before implementing it. Clarifying Questions: Which ordering rule, duplicate semantics, and output placement are required? Are workers permitted to trade data directly, broadcast pivot values, or run reductions? What is the memory capacity of…
