Google’s DeepMind has achieved a groundbreaking feat in computer science with its latest AI system, AlphaDev. This specialized version of AlphaZero has discovered faster sorting and hashing algorithms, which are essential processes used trillions of times daily by developers worldwide for data sorting, storage, and retrieval.
According to a paper published in the science journal Nature, AlphaDev’s newly discovered algorithm achieves a 70% increase in efficiency for sorting short sequences of elements and approximately 1.7% for sequences surpassing 250,000 elements, compared to the algorithms in the C++ library. This means that when a user submits a search query, AlphaDev’s algorithm facilitates faster sorting of results, leading to significant time and energy savings when employed on a large scale.
