A method and apparatus for merging a plurality of input data strings employ a unit to execute a vector processing for two-way merging to carry out merging iteratively, while setting the number of vector elements for the merging unit for the input data strings, deliver the result of merging, and, when a certain number of vacant areas become available in a input data area, load the certain number of data of the associated input data string to the vacant areas. Delivery of the merged result and loading of an input data string to the input data area take place in parallel.
