Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) research lab DeepMind has achieved a remarkable feat in computer science through its latest AI system, AlphaDev. This specialized version of AlphaZero has made a ...
A video showing sorting algorithms in action may not sound like the most riveting concept in the world — but, then again, neither does watching other people play video games or unboxing gadgets you ...
In this article, we present the bubble sort and merge sort algorithms. We discuss the cycle counts of these algorithms on the Blackfin processor, and show how to reduce the cycle count of the bubble ...
We’re suckers for the kind of “life hacks” that tell you that you’ve been doing some relatively mundane task all wrong, and that there’s a super-easy alternative which can massively speed up your ...
What happens when you attempt to demonstrate sorting algorithms using folk dancing? The result is slightly surreal and you'll probably always hum a tune in future when implementing a Bubble, Shell, ...
Professor Charles Anthony Richard Hoare, known as Tony to friends, has died at the age of 92. One of the greatest programmers in the early history of computing, he invented the Quicksort algorithm ...
There are some news items from the past year that deserve a second chance. Here we have one such - sorting algorithms are fundamental to computer science and writing one of your own will teach you a ...
OpenAI’s latest generative AI model is much better at code generation than previous models, but slower and more expensive — and not quite ready for production. “Ho, hum,” I thought in response to the ...
Understand the principles of efficient algorithms for dealing with large scale data sets and be able to select appropriate algorithms for specific problems. Understand and be able to apply the main ...
