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 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 ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

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 ...
