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 ...

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 ...

A formula used to reorder data into a new sequence. Like all complicated problems, there are many solutions that can achieve the same results, and one sort algorithm can re-sequence data faster than ...

If you’re under the impression that something as simple as sorting numbers is dull, think again. This visualization lets you see and hear fifteen different algorithms sift their way through a jumbled ...

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.

In the field of computer science, there is perhaps no more fundamental task than to sort. Bubble, heap, merge—take your pick. The methods for reordering data inside a computer have been theorized to ...
