Trust us, this video of 15 different sorting algorithms is way more entertaining than it sounds ... fun product reviews, insightful editorials, and one-of-a-kind sneak peeks.

The existing C++ algorithm for sorting a list of five items took around 6.91 nanoseconds on a typical Intel Skylake chip. AlphaDev’s took 2.01 nanoseconds, around 70% faster. Related Story ...

Ever wondered what was the most efficient way to alphabetize a giant pile of books? Check out the perfect real-world algorithm for just such a task.

When asked to create a sorting algorithm, AlphaDev came up with one that was 70 per cent faster than the best for lists of five pieces of data and 1.7 per cent faster for lists of over 250,000 items.

The algorithm addresses something called the library sorting problem (more formally, the “list labeling” problem). The challenge is to devise a strategy for organizing books in some kind of sorted ...

There’s no realistic way I could go back now and sort my email into useful categories, because I have entirely too much of it. Google is offering a similar situation with photos.
