This is something definitely worth sharing, very useful for anyone who wants to learn more about different sorting algorithms.  If you want to learn more about different types of sorting this is the perfect place to start. It even has animations to show how different algorithms work and pseudo-code to help you get started with [...]

Rudy Andrut has auralized a bunch of sorting algorithms based on their visualizations. They sound pretty amazing! Also, if you are looking for the visualizations that were previously done check them out here: sorting algorithm visualizations (sortvis.org). Here are the videos:

A new, extremely fast sorting algorithm has been created for GPUs (CUDA-capable only) by researchers at the University of Virginia. This new algorithm is capable of sorting at a rate of one billion (integer) keys per second using a GPU. Normally CPUs aren’t as efficient as CPUs for these types of algorithms (for sorting), but [...]
