Overview: Algorithm selection is an engineering decision: the wrong choice can freeze a system at scale, regardless of ...

Parallel sorting algorithm optimization represents a critical area of research aimed at accelerating the arrangement of large data sets by exploiting modern multi-core and many-core architectures. By ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

The k-generalized Fibonacci numbers are defined as in [1]. A polyphase merge (merging an equal number of sequences from k tapes onto a single unused tape) using k+1 tapes is defined in terms of linear ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...
