When a deadly listeria outbreak swept across Canada in 2024, the initial headlines focused on recalls and rising case counts.

Quantum computing news usually picks up near the end of the year, as companies try to provide evidence that they are hitting benchmarks on time. However, there have been interesting announcements as ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel hardware-based multidimensional sorting algorithm and its respective architecture, called real-time hardware sorter (RTHS), for emerging data intensive processing ...

The Australian biotech company Cortical Labs recently posted a video in which 200,000 living human neurons grown on a silicon chip played the 1993 first-person shooter Doom. The neuron-controlled main ...

It was less than two years ago that Zapata Computing fell apart and crashed. In 2017, the company spun out of Harvard University’s quantum research lab with a focus on the top application layer of the ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel sorting algorithm that sorts input data integer elements on-the-fly without any comparison operations between the data-comparison-free sorting. We present a ...

Some algorithms are more efficient than others. We would prefer to chose an efficient algorithm, so it would be nice to have metrics for comparing algorithm efficiency. The complexity of an algorithm ...
