Sorting is a foundational primitive in modern data processing, influencing the execution speed of high-performance data pipelines. However, the algorithmic landscape is currently bifurcated by a pervasive "Stability Tax": practitioners must…
The objective behind the Twin Sort technique is to sort the list of unordered data elements efficiently and to allow efficient and simple arrangement of data elements within the data structure with optimization of comparisons and iterations…
We introduce and analyse a new, extremely simple, randomised sorting algorithm: - choose a pair of indices $\{i, j\}$ according to some distribution $q$; - sort the elements in positions $i$ and $j$ of the array in ascending order. Choosing…
Sorting algorithms are the deciding factor for the performance of common operations such as removal of duplicates or database sort-merge joins. This work focuses on 32-bit integer keys, optionally paired with a 32-bit value. We present a…
We describe a seriation algorithm for ranking a set of items given pairwise comparisons between these items. Intuitively, the algorithm assigns similar rankings to items that compare similarly with all others. It does so by constructing a…
In this paper, we present FLiMS, a highly-efficient and simple parallel algorithm for merging two sorted lists residing in banked and/or wide memory. On FPGAs, its implementation uses fewer hardware resources than the state-of-the-art…
A novel paradigm for sorting is introduced, based upon resetting. Using simple examples, we demonstrate that sorting is achieved by resetting the velocity component(s) or orientation of the particles, rather than position. The objects to be…
We study the optimization version of the set partition problem (where the difference between the partition sums are minimized), which has numerous applications in decision theory literature. While the set partitioning problem is NP-hard and…
We explore the fundamental problem of sorting through the lens of learning-augmented algorithms, where algorithms can leverage possibly erroneous predictions to improve their efficiency. We consider two different settings: In the first…
When trying to solve a computational problem, we are often faced with a choice between algorithms that are guaranteed to return the right answer but differ in their runtime distributions (e.g., SAT solvers, sorting algorithms). This paper…
Dual-pivot quicksort refers to variants of classical quicksort where in the partitioning step two pivots are used to split the input into three segments. This can be done in different ways, giving rise to different algorithms. Recently, a…
Since the work of Kaligosi and Sanders (2006), it is well-known that Quicksort -- which is commonly considered as one of the fastest in-place sorting algorithms -- suffers in an essential way from branch mispredictions. We present a novel…
Sorting a set of items is a task that can be useful by itself or as a building block for more complex operations. That is why a lot of effort has been put into finding sorting algorithms that sort large sets as fast as possible. But the…
We introduce a new sorting algorithm that is the combination of ML-enhanced sorting with the In-place Super Scalar Sample Sort (IPS4o). The main contribution of our work is to achieve parallel ML-enhanced sorting, as previous algorithms…
We address the problem of learning a ranking by using adaptively chosen pairwise comparisons. Our goal is to recover the ranking accurately but to sample the comparisons sparingly. If all comparison outcomes are consistent with the ranking,…
While modern general-purpose computing systems have ample amounts of memory, it is still the case that embedded computer systems, such as in a refrigerator, are memory limited; hence, such embedded systems motivate the need for strictly…
Motivated by the development of computer theory, the sorting algorithm is emerging in an endless stream. Inspired by decrease and conquer method, we propose a brand new sorting algorithmUltimately Heapsort. The algorithm consists of two…
We propose a novel sparse preference learning/ranking algorithm. Our algorithm approximates the true utility function by a weighted sum of basis functions using the squared loss on pairs of data points, and is a generalization of the kernel…
This paper introduces a new comparison base stable sorting algorithm, named RS sort. RS Sort involves only the comparison of pair of elements in an array which ultimately sorts the array and does not involve the comparison of each element…
Pbit, besides its simplicity, is definitely the fastest list sorting algorithm. It considerably surpasses all already known methods. Among many advantages, it is stable, linear and be made to run in place. I will compare Pbit with algorithm…
