If you wanted to show the effects of parallelization on the speed of a sort, and could only pick one algorithm to demonstrate this, which would it be? I have found quite a few that lend themselves to ...

If it uses recursion to do the inserts, you'd probably gain quite a bit using a non-recursive sorting algorithm. Memory allocation might also be a big factor if you're reading in the entire file into ...

An algorithm used trillions of times a day around the world could run up to 70 per cent faster, thanks to an artificial intelligence created by UK-based firm DeepMind. It has found an improved way for ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...
