AlphaDev: small sorting algorithms

Contribution grade

Algorithms · Scoped scientific or research-capability contribution

Reference score1,800Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Discovers faster small sorting programs and reports their inclusion in an LLVM standard library.

Scientific scope

Discovers faster small sorting programs and reports their inclusion in an LLVM standard library. Scope limitation: Correctness, speed on particular hardware and broad applicability require separate validation. The complete article byline is recorded; individual roles remain source-bound. Neri’s follow-up and its own erratum distinguish looping routines, restricted input domains and hardware-specific timings; read the linked challenge before generalizing shortest-program or speed claims.
