The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal.

Anyone who has taken a basic computer science class has undoubtedly spent time devising a sorting algorithm—code that will take an unordered list of items and put them in ascending or descending ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) offer a unique platform for the implementation of high-performance sorting algorithms by combining inherent parallelism with customisable hardware ...

The site provides visualizations of all kinds of sorting algorithms—the ones that organize elements of a sequence into a certain order.

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