In this article, we present the bubble sort and merge sort algorithms. We discuss the cycle counts of these algorithms on the Blackfin processor, and show how to reduce the cycle count of the bubble ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) offer a unique platform for the implementation of high-performance sorting algorithms by combining inherent parallelism with customisable hardware architectures.

Sorting. It’s a classic problem that’s been studied for decades, and it’s a great first step towards “thinking algorithmically.” Over the years, a handful of sorting algorithms have emerged, each ...

We don’t need to tell you that data can be beautiful—but the process of putting it in order can look pretty darn good, too. A new site called SORTING aims to make people aware of just how elegant some ...

An algorithm used trillions of times a day around the world could run up to 70 per cent faster, thanks to an artificial intelligence created by UK-based firm DeepMind. It has found an improved way for ...

When you’re trying to learn how an algorithm works, it’s not always easy to visualize what’s going on. Well, except for maybe binary sort, thanks to the phone book. Professor [thatguyer] is a computer ...
