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 ...

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.

The steps for quick sorting are as follows: First, select an appropriate value (pivot) from the data. In the following example, the value with the diagonal line is the pivot. Each data point is ...

Starting at the beginning of the data set, each item of data is examined until a match is made. Once the item is found, the search ends. Suppose we were to search for the value 2. The search would ...
