Children often surprise us with their natural problem-solving skills. A new study shows that they can discover efficient algorithms on their own. Researchers Huiwen Alex Yang, Bill D. Thompson, and ...

What would you like to Propose? I would like to propose adding a new sorting algorithm — Tournament Sort — in the sorts package. Tournament Sort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm that simulates ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Most algorithms for sorting developed to date were found to also exhibit strong data dependencies. This essentially means that the operations they perform rely on the results of earlier operations, ...

In a bid to overcome shortcomings in scientific computing, Chinese scientists have unveiled a new approach to sorting data that promises both higher speed and lower energy consumption. The system ...
