Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? The current sorting visualizer focuses mainly on classical deterministic algorithms (e.g., Quick Sort, Merge Sort, Heap Sort). It lacks fun ...

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 ...

Abstract: In this paper, a low-cost pipelined architecture based on a hybrid sorting algorithm is proposed. The proposed architecture is constructed with a bitonic sorter and several cascaded ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

ABSTRACT: The transitional blending between terrain and objects is a core challenge in enhancing the realism of game scenes. Aiming at the problems of poor universality, reliance on high-configuration ...
