Sir Tony Hoare, who has died aged 92, was a leading figure in computer software design best known for developing a leading algorithm for sorting lists – when he was 26.

Classicist, philosopher, wit, and one of the greatest British computer scientists of all time Obit Professor Charles Anthony Richard Hoare has died at the age of 92. Known to many computer science ...

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 ...

A video showing sorting algorithms in action may not sound like the most riveting concept in the world — but, then again, neither does watching other people play video games or unboxing gadgets you ...

An obituary of Tony Hoare, a pioneer and one of the greatest programmers in the early history of computing.

Designing integer-sort algorithms into FPGAs isn't as difficult as you might think. The payoff can be huge: short design time, flexibility, and fast operation. Engineers have traditionally implemented ...

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 ...
