In this article, we will estimate the values for x and y by implementing the bubble sort and merge sort algorithms on a Blackfin DSP processor [2]. We provide techniques to efficiently implement the ...
One again we’ll work through several iterations, improving the code as we go along. Refactor #1: The classic bubble sort, with a functional twist ...
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.
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.
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).
