In a paper published today in the science journal Nature, DeepMind asserts that AlphaDev’s newly discovered algorithm achieves a 70% increase in efficiency for sorting short sequences of ...

If you’re under the impression that something as simple as sorting numbers is dull, think again. This visualization lets you see and hear fifteen different algorithms sift their way through a ...

Sorting is so basic that algorithms are built into most standard libraries for programming languages. And, in the case of the C++ library used with the LLVM compiler, the code hasn't been touched ...

Specialization: Data Science Foundations: Data Structures and Algorithms Instructor: Sriram Sankaranarayanan, Assistant Professor Prior knowledge needed: Mathematical Background: We expect that the ...

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).

The video starts by describing two common sorting algorithms; “ bubble sort ” and “ insertion sort.” In the former, a sorting algorithm repeatedly steps through a list that needs to be ...

The sorting algorithm led to improvements that were up to 70% faster than benchmarks for shorter sequences and about 1.7% faster for sequences exceeding 250,000 elements.

Foundational work on sorting networks through FPGA, although published earlier, continues to inform current research by highlighting effective architectural strategies for balancing computational ...
