Understand the principles of efficient algorithms for dealing with large scale data sets and be able to select appropriate algorithms for specific problems. Understand and be able to apply the main ...

Sorting algorithms are a common exercise for new programmers, and for good reason: they introduce many programming fundamentals at once, including loops and conditionals, arrays and lists, comparisons ...

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 ...

Data structures and algorithms constitute the foundational pillars of computer science. They provide the systematic methods for organising, storing and manipulating data, and offer step-by-step ...

Sorting. It’s a classic problem that’s been studied for decades, and it’s a great first step towards “thinking algorithmically.” Over the years, a handful of sorting algorithms have emerged, each ...
