MIT: Introduction to Algorithms

I recently got into a conversation about the computer science classic sorting, in particular we chatted about applications of Radix Sort.

This is not something I had really needed to look into in any detail, but sparked my interest due to this statement “Radix sorts are often, in practice, the fastest and most useful sorts on parallel machines.”

The spark rekindled my desire for refreshing my knowledge of the basics so I may build on this to explore the latest and greatest research in this area.

I personally like the MIT course Introduction to Algorithms as it covers so many of the fundamentals very well.

Watching “Counting Sort, Radix Sort, Lower Bounds for Sorting” at the minute:

A good start for now.

Also worth checking out: “Practical Applications of Radix Sort”.
