Since most of the operations in sort algorithms are of the control type, a processor compute unit with a deep pipeline will stall whenever it encounters a conditional operation such as a jump, a ...

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.

Chinese scientists have developed a faster and more energy-efficient method to sort data, which could be used to overcome limitations in scientific computing, artificial intelligence, and hardware ...
