Google’s AI discovers 70% faster sorting algorithm

Sorting is one the of the most fundamental tasks in computer science and serves as the building block for more complex systems and ideas.

AlphaDev, a new AI system by Google’s AI research unit Deepmind discovered a new sorting algorithm that’s up to 70% faster for shorter sequences and about 1.7% faster for sequences exceeding 250,000 elements!

AlphaDev also discovered a new hashing algorithm that’s 30% faster in the 9-16 bytes range. These improvements are significant because the algorithm are used trillions of times a day! Also, AI discovered these new algorithm on its own without human input!
