Knuth (1973,pp2-3) notes that sorting is estimated to take up 25% of the world’s computer time. With the advent of the microcomputer this may well have changed, but it is nonetheless a both practically and theoretically interesting task. Sorting, in the sense of bringing together related things, has now been subsumed by.the more specific task of ordering, and has spawned an enormous number of serial sorting algorithms.

SAPCo Sort: optimizing Degree-Ordering for Power-Law Graphs

We introduce the Structure-Aware Parattet Counting (SAPCo) Sort algorithm that optimizes performance of degree-ordering, a key operation in graph analytics. SAPCo leverages the skewed degree…

Quantum algorithms for jet clustering

This work considers the possibility of using quantum computers to speed up jet clustering algorithms and identifies a well-known event shape called thrust whose optimum corresponds to the most jetlike separating plane among a set of particles, thereby defining two hemisphere jets.

Theoretical Engineering and Satellite Comlink of a PTVD-SHAM System

This paper focuses on super helical memory system's design, 'Engineering, Architectural and Satellite Communications' as a theoretical approach of an invention-model to 'store time- data' and the time-data versus data-time algorithm.

Analysis and Determination of Inner Lip texture Descriptors for Visual Speech Representation

The experimental results show that the local inner texture descriptors, such as the color moment with geometric feature, outperform the holistic inner textures descriptors in representing visual speech with the close discriminability but low dimensionality.

We give a parallel implementation of merge sort on a CREW PRAM that uses n processors and O(logn) time; the constant in the running time is small. We also give a more complex version of the algorithm…

Sorting inc logn parallel steps

A sorting network withcn logn comparisons where in thei-th step of the algorithm the contents of registersRj, andRk, wherej, k are absolute constants then change their contents or not according to the result of the comparison.

Sorting networks and their applications

To achieve high throughput rates today's computers perform several operations simultaneously. Not only are I/O operations performed concurrently with computing, but also, in multiprocessors, several…
