Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...
A high-performance implementation of Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm comparing sequential and parallel approaches using Intel TBB (Threading Building Blocks). Dijkstra/ ├── main.cpp # Main program ...
When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...
A deal between the U.S. and China over the ownership of TikTok includes new stipulations over who controls the social media company's algorithm, a closely guarded secret which has proved to be a major ...
Kelley Cotter has received funding from the National Science Foundation. Chinese tech giant ByteDance finalized its agreement to sell a majority stake in its video platform TikTok to a group of U.S.
The ongoing TikTok-US saga seems close to reaching a conclusion, but we’re not there yet. As details get worked out for a potential Oracle-driven deal, a new Bloomberg report details the plans for ...

TikTok’s algorithm and board of directors will be “controlled by America” as part of a deal reached with China earlier this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday, following ...
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 ...
If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.
