Overview: Algorithm selection is an engineering decision: the wrong choice can freeze a system at scale, regardless of ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new parallel sorting algorithm, derived from the odd-even mergesort algorithm, named "partition and concurrent merging" (PCM). The proposed algorithm is based on a ...

Some algorithms are more efficient than others. We would prefer to chose an efficient algorithm, so it would be nice to have metrics for comparing algorithm efficiency. The complexity of an algorithm ...

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.

Edit distance—a classical problem in computer science—has received ongoing attention from both practitioners and theoreticians. Given two strings A and B, the edit distance is the minimum number of ...

Abstract: Based on insertion, Quick-Sort and Merge-Sort algorithms, this paper proposes an improved method about indexing and presents its corresponding parallel algorithm. Introduction of index table ...
