Shayan Oveis Gharan has won the Abacus Medal for using tools from across mathematics to boost the power of algorithms.

I’ve removed all my social media apps — Instagram, Twitter, TikTok — and moved them onto an old iPhone I had lying around my ...

Computer algorithms are step-by-step instructions that help computers solve problems, process data, and deliver results. They power search engines, AI systems, online shopping, navigation apps, and ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

This is a comparison of domain-specific sort algorithms to modern general-purpose hybrid sort algorithms. Bias disclosure: the author of this document is the co-author of ipnsort and driftsort which ...

In a bid to overcome shortcomings in scientific computing, Chinese scientists have unveiled a new approach to sorting data that promises both higher speed and lower energy consumption. The system ...

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...

Abstract: This research work introduces a clustering-based in-place sorting algorithm, cluster sort. It is designed in such a way that it improves sorting efficiency by using data locality. It works ...

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 ...
