Kruskal’s algorithm finds a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) by building it edge by edge, always choosing the cheapest edge that doesn’t create a cycle. Sorting all edges in the graph from smallest weight ...

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 ...

In a bid to overcome shortcomings in scientific computing, Chinese scientists have unveiled a new approach to sorting data that promises both higher speed and lower energy consumption. The system ...

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...
