Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) offer a unique platform for the implementation of high-performance sorting algorithms by combining inherent parallelism with customisable hardware architectures.

A formula used to reorder data into a new sequence. Like all complicated problems, there are many solutions that can achieve the same results, and one sort algorithm can re-sequence data faster than ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A recent article reports that an Oracle patent on a fast sorting method has expired, allowing open source databases to use it freely. Mark Callaghan, the inventor behind the sorting algorithm, shows ...
