It then proceeds to sort the copies of that array using std::sort, regular single-threaded quicksort, followed by a number of iterations of sorting with GPU-Quicksort in OpenCL 2.0.

See sort algorithm. Quick Sorting a List This quick sort uses randomly chosen pivots (in red) to keep dividing the list into two until there is only one item on each side of the pivot left.

When you’re trying to learn how an algorithm works, it’s not always easy to visualize what’s going on. Well, except for maybe binary sort, thanks to the phone book. Professor [tha… ...

Sorting. It’s a classic problem that’s been studied for decades, and it’s a great first step towards “thinking algorithmically.” Over the years, a handful of sorting algorithms have ...

PhD student Timo Bingmann has created an amazing video showing sorting algorithms in action. And it's surprisingly awesome!
