A recent article reports that an Oracle patent on a fast sorting method has expired, allowing open source databases to use it freely. Mark Callaghan, the inventor behind the sorting algorithm, shows ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) offer a unique platform for the implementation of high-performance sorting algorithms by combining inherent parallelism with customisable hardware architectures.

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 ...
