Sorting. It’s a classic problem that’s been studied for decades, and it’s a great first step towards “thinking algorithmically.” Over the years, a handful of sorting algorithms have emerged, each ...

In this article, we present the bubble sort and merge sort algorithms. We discuss the cycle counts of these algorithms on the Blackfin processor, and show how to reduce the cycle count of the bubble ...

We start with how sorting algorithms work. Although you don’t need to implement sorting algorithms yourself, it’s useful to know how they work internally. You can skip to the next section if you just ...
