quadsort

9 2,104 4.6 C

Quadsort is a branchless stable adaptive mergesort faster than quicksort.

Project mention: 10~17x faster than what? A performance analysis of Intel x86-SIMD-sort (AVX-512) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-10

As you can see, quadsort 1.1.4.1 used 2 instead of 4 writes in the bi-directional parity merges. This was in June 2021, and would have compiled as branchless with clang, but as branched with gcc.
When I added a compile time check to use ternary operations for clang I was not adapting your work. I was well aware that clang compiled ternary operations as branchless, but I wasn't aware that rust did as well. I added the compile time check to use ternary operations for a fair performance comparison against glidesort.

As for ipnsort's small sort, it is very similar to quadsort's small sort, which uses stable sorting networks, instead of unstable sorting networks. From my perspective it's not exactly novel. I didn't go for unstable sorting networks in crumsort to increase code reuse, and to not reduce adaptivity.

Project mention: What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem? | /r/linux | 2023-05-02

this was my personal 'want' from deadbeef that felt a little awkward https://github.com/DeaDBeeF-Player/deadbeef/issues/2365 (recently added and recently played playlists). it may be doable with plugins or some shell scripting perhaps

Project mention: Visualizing Ext4 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-08

There's a command-line utility called pixd [1] that generates similar data visualizations on the command line. That said, it only shows static representations of binary data and is not nearly as cool as buredoranna's animated gifs showing filesystem changes over time.
It can be helpful to plot these sorts of pixel arrangements on a Hilbert curve, rather than plotting pixels line by line. I learned this trick from a Ghidra plugin called cantordust [2]. 3blue1brown offers some mathematical intuition for the effectiveness of a Hilbert curve pixel arrangement [3].
