Sir Tony Hoare, who has died aged 92, was a leading figure in computer software design best known for developing a leading ...

In this article, we present the bubble sort and merge sort algorithms. We discuss the cycle counts of these algorithms on the Blackfin processor, and show how to reduce the cycle count of the bubble ...

The steps for quick sorting are as follows: First, select an appropriate value (pivot) from the data. In the following example, the value with the diagonal line is the pivot. Each data point is ...

Designing integer-sort algorithms into FPGAs isn't as difficult as you might think. The payoff can be huge: short design time, flexibility, and fast operation. Engineers have traditionally implemented ...
