  2. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    Timsort is a hybrid, stable sorting algorithm, derived from merge sort and insertion sort, designed to perform well on many kinds of real-world data.It was implemented by Tim Peters in 2002 for use in the Python programming language.

  3. Block sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Sort

    Block sort begins by performing insertion sort on groups of 16–31 items in the array. Insertion sort is an O(n 2) operation, so this leads to anywhere from O(16 2 × n/16) to O(31 2 × n/31), which is O(n) once the constant factors are omitted. It must also apply an insertion sort on the second internal buffer after each level of merging is ...

  4. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    One implementation can be described as arranging the data sequence in a two-dimensional array and then sorting the columns of the array using insertion sort. The worst-case time complexity of Shellsort is an open problem and depends on the gap sequence used, with known complexities ranging from O ( n 2 ) to O ( n 4/3 ) and Θ( n log 2 n ).

  5. Bucket sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_sort

    The shuffle sort [6] is a variant of bucket sort that begins by removing the first 1/8 of the n items to be sorted, sorts them recursively, and puts them in an array. This creates n /8 "buckets" to which the remaining 7/8 of the items are distributed.

  6. Merge algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_algorithm

    In the merge sort algorithm, this subroutine is typically used to merge two sub-arrays A[lo..mid], A[mid+1..hi] of a single array A. This can be done by copying the sub-arrays into a temporary array, then applying the merge algorithm above. [1] The allocation of a temporary array can be avoided, but at the expense of speed and programming ease.

  7. Bitonic sorter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitonic_sorter

    Bitonic mergesort is a parallel algorithm for sorting. It is also used as a construction method for building a sorting network.The algorithm was devised by Ken Batcher.The resulting sorting networks consist of (⁡ ()) comparators and have a delay of (⁡ ()), where is the number of items to be sorted. [1]

  8. Cocktail shaker sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocktail_shaker_sort

    The simplest form goes through the whole list each time: procedure cocktailShakerSort(A : list of sortable items) is do swapped := false for each i in 0 to length(A) − 1 do: if A[i] > A[i + 1] then // test whether the two elements are in the wrong order swap(A[i], A[i + 1]) // let the two elements change places swapped := true end if end for if not swapped then // we can exit the outer loop ...

  9. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    To use column-major order in a row-major environment, or vice versa, for whatever reason, one workaround is to assign non-conventional roles to the indexes (using the first index for the column and the second index for the row), and another is to bypass language syntax by explicitly computing positions in a one-dimensional array.
