Algorithtic Analysis: Divide And Conquer Strategies

Improved Essays
Divide and Conquer Strategies:

Divide and conquer is an algorithm which design paradigm based on multi-branched recursion. This designed paradigm consists of following phases: 1) Break the problem (divide): Breaking the problem into several sub-problems that are smaller in size.
2) Solve the sub problem(conquer) : Solve the sub-problem recursively .
3) Combine the solutions (Merge): Combine solutions to subproblems to create a solution to the original problem.
This technique is the basis of algorithms for all kinds of problems, such as sorting method like quick sort, merge sort, syntactic analysis(top down parsing) of compilation process, and computing the discrete Fourier transform.
Searching
Searching is the algorithmic process of finding

    The Haswell microarchitecture improvises the Ivy-bridge in the following ways: • New socket LGA1150 for desktop processors • New AVX2 Instruction set • New TSX Instruction set • New bit manipulation instructions • New dispatch ports INSTRUCTION SET: The AVX instruction set limited the integer operations to use only 128-bit registers whereas the floating point operations used 256-bit registers. In addition, AVX2 implements three operand FMA instructions. New 15 bit manipulation instructions were added to support cryptography, indexing and data conversion. The third new instruction set is TSX which helps resolve data synchronization issues which arises when same data are used by different processes running at the same time.…

    Health and nutrition have been an essential part of life since the beginning of time, but more recently these topics are shared and examined more frequently than ever, especially in America. In Michael Pollan’s article “Our National Eating Disorder,” Claudia Kalb’s “Food News Blues,” and Karin Kratina’s “The Right Thing to Do?” it is made apparent that how we eat may be just as important as what we eat. These three authors make very valid points about American’s obsession with health fads and negative thinking towards many food groups.…

    So, recently I read Deborah Tannen's 1994 essay "The Triumph of the Yell", in which she laments the deterioration of modern-day debate due to its over-combative nature. She argues that framing debates as a fight between opposing extremes obstructs the truth rather than bringing it to light. While I was reading it, I couldn't help but think of the anime fan community (as well as the gaming community, and the sad state of U.S. politics) and the "debates" that take place within it. Far too often, they turn into unintelligible battles of ad hominem attacks and self-serving logic, rather than anything of real substance. Much of this boils down to the idea that anyone who doesn't agree with you is either a "fanboy" or "elitist".…
