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 ...

SYSTEMS APPROACH Last year a couple of people forwarded to me the same article on a new method of finding shortest paths in networks. Dijkstra is a legend in computer science and his algorithm, which ...

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 ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling ...

One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.

This presents a set-based topological sorting algorithm for directed acyclic graphs (DAG). Unlike traditional algorithms that produce a linear order of nodes, it yields a linear sequence of sets of ...
