The new data sorting system based on memristor technology, improved energy efficiency by more than 160 times compared to ...

AlphaDev was able to shave an instruction off of sort-3, sort-5, and sort-8, and even more off of sort-6 and sort-7. There was only one (sort-4) where it didn't find a way to improve the human code.

Like all complicated problems, there are many solutions that can achieve the same results, and one sort algorithm can re-sequence data faster than another. In the early 1960s, ...

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 ...

It’s useful to have AI come up with a new sorting algorithm; it’s a much bigger deal to build an AI that can learn how to write state-of-the-art code across a variety of tasks, he says.

The longest algorithm it produced was 130 instructions long, for sorting a list of up to five items. At each step, AlphaDev picked from 297 possible assembly instructions (out of many more).

If you ever need to sort character strings stored in SQL Server fields, check out this demonstration of how to write a common sorting algorithm using SQL Server TSQL code.

On Twitter, Elon Musk shared the news that starting March 31 the platform will open source all code used to recommend tweets in effort to provide increased transparency about how things work.

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 ...

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred’s previously undisclosed letter to Astros GM Jeff Luhnow details the team’s spreadsheet and algorithm to steal signs in one of the biggest ...
