Trust us, this video of 15 different sorting algorithms is way more entertaining than it sounds

PhD student Timo Bingmann has created an amazing video showing sorting algorithms in action. And it’s surprisingly awesome!

In fact, “15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes” — created by Timo Bingmann, a PhD student at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology — is one of the most weirdly hypnotic viewing experiences you’ll find; with something almost trance-inducing about watching the algorithms work their organizing magic on a variety of data sets.

“Efficiency of algorithms is of great importance in the era of Big Data,” Peter Flach, author of Machine Learning: The Art and Science of Algorithms That Make Sense of Data, tells Digital Trends.

The Sound of Sorting – “Audibilization” and Visualization of Sorting Algorithms – panthema.net

by Timo Bingmann at Permlink.

Sorting algorithms are an essential chapter in undergraduate computer science education. Due to their easy to explain nature and fairly straight-forward analysis, this set of algorithms offers a convenient introduction to the methods and techniques of theoretical computer science and algorithm analysis.

This web page presents my own demo program for sortings algorithms, called “The Sound of Sorting”, which both visualizes the algorithms internals and their operations, and generates sound effects from the values being compared. See below for YouTube videos created with the demo.

The demo is implemented using the cross-platform toolkits wxWidgets and SDL, can be executed on Windows, Linux and Mac, and runs in real time.
