Computer scientists have invented a highly effective, yet incredibly simple, algorithm to decide which items to toss from a web cache to make room for new ones.

Computers are great a processing large amounts of data very quickly. What computers aren’t nearly as good at (though the ...

A fully reprogrammable quantum computer which can solve simple algorithms had been shown to work, in a milestone which could eventually lead to super-fast machines.

Vera Molnar, Pioneer of Computer Art, Dies at 99 Experimenting with algorithms, she began to employ the principles of computation in her work even before she gained access to an actual computer.

The simplest meaningful instance of Shor's Algorithm is finding the factors of the number 15, which requires a seven-qubit quantum computer.

Theoretical computer scientists are normally a fairly sedate bunch, but are humming with excitement after a potential breakthrough in a long-standing problem called graph isomorphism. The result ...
