A merge sort is a more complex sort, but also a highly efficient one. A merge sort uses a technique called divide and conquer. The list is repeatedly divided into two until all the elements are ...

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 ...
