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 ...

HyRMIS Sort: A high-performance hybrid sorting algorithm combining Radix, Merge, and Insertion Sort. Adapts strategy based on input size for optimal performance across various data distributions.

An Alphabet model uses jax2tf and calls jax.lax.top_k with a jax.Array of dtype uint8 and shape (1, 1,32768): For this call, XLA ends up calling radix sort. However, the radix sort is sub-optimal ...

Abstract: Every algorithm has its own best-case as well as its worst-case scenario, so it is difficult to determine the best sorting algorithm just by its Big-O. Not only that, the amount of memory ...
