Sure but it's still incredibly misleading.
- diggan 2y ago> it's still incredibly misleading What, exactly, is misleading? The title of the blogpost is "Sorting Algorithms with CUDA" and I didn't get the feeling that the author is touting their "Bottom-up iterative merge sort" is the fastest possible way of sorting with CUDA. There is even a "Future Work" section at the end, implying even the author know it can be done better.
- tantalor 2y agoI think the faux-academic style is throwing people off. If author is taking a truly academic perspective, then a section should be included with background on state of the art, best known performance, etc. If this is just a blog post (which is more likely) with less rigor, then the style could reflect that better. For instance, calling it an "introduction" or "exercise".
- tverbeure 2y agoReread the first paragraph of this blog post. How many academic papers start with "I went for a NVIDIA recruiting event some days ago, that was a great event and it motivated me to try to rewrite the sorting algorithms using CUDA."
