# 15 sorting algorithms in 6 minutes (2013) [video] **Channel:** akkartik Source: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg) ## Description Visualization and "audibilization" of 15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes. Sorts random shuffles of integers, with both speed and the number of items adapted to each algorithm's complexity. The algorithms are: selection sort, insertion sort, quick sort, merge sort, heap sort, radix sort (LSD), radix sort (MSD), std::sort (intro sort), std::stable_sort (adaptive merge sort), shell sort, bubble sort, cocktail shaker sort, gnome sort, bitonic sort and bogo sort (30 seconds of it).

A new branchless Quicksort implementation (blqsort) using sorting networks outperforms std::sort and pdqsort on Apple M1 and AMD Ryzen systems, available as single-header C and C++ libraries. It achieves speedups through branchless partitioning, median-of-medians pivot selection, and custom sorting networks for small arrays.
