One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

An interactive visualization tool that beautifully showcases the merge sort algorithm in action. Designed with dual tree visualization to separately display both divide and merge phases, this project ...

If we're looking to optimize well-understood algorithms, like sorting functions, then basing something on existing human code is, at best, going to get you equivalent performance.

This was the first change to C++’s sorting algorithms in more than a decade and the first update ever to involve an algorithm discovered using AI.

An artificial intelligence (AI) system based on Google DeepMind’s AlphaZero AI created algorithms that, when translated into the standard programming language C++, can sort data up to three ...

Every algorithm has its own best-case as well as its worst-case scenario, so it is difficult to determine the best sorting algorithm just by its Big-O. Not only that, the amount of memory required ...
