The longest algorithm it produced was 130 instructions long, for sorting a list of up to five items. At each step, AlphaDev picked from 297 possible assembly instructions (out of many more).

Red highlights the path taken to sort the example sequence (8, 6, 7, 2). b, Mankowitz and colleagues’ algorithm generated a different procedure — incrementally sorting sequences of length four ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on ...

“Computer scientists use sorting algorithms as an example in computational complexity theory, which offers an abstract notion of algorithmic scalability,” Flach continues.

For example, the complexity of sorting N numbers using the bubble sort method is O (N2) and using merge sort method is O (NlogN). This doesn't mean we consume N2 and NlogN processor clock cycles in ...
