Jul 14, 2024 23:40:00 An algorithm that can calculate the maximum transport flow at the lowest cost and the fastest speed for all kinds of networks such as railroads, roads, and electricity has ...

Researchers develop fastest possible flow algorithm Date: June 28, 2024 Source: ETH Zurich Summary: Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is ...

This small project implements the Jobard and Lefer (1997) algorithm in three different languages (C, C++ and Rust). This algorithm is used for drawing non-overlapping and evenly-spaced curves in a ...

Research conducted at the height of the 2020 election reveals new details about how Facebook's algorithms handle political content. But it suggests there are no easy fixes to political polarization.

Overall, AlphaDev’s new C++ sorting algorithms are 1.7 percent more efficient than the prior methods when sorting long sequences of numbers, and up to 70 percent faster for five-item sequences.

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. ...
