So-called 'external memory' sorting algorithms generally look very different from in-core algorithms. IIRC, the efficient way involves setting up a 'funnel' of input data streams, and writing out ...

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 this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array in ascending/descending order); binary search: search whether an element is ...
