Some algorithms solve problems. This one changed civilization. From guiding satellites to securing your bank account, its influence reaches every corner of technology. It started with a simple insight ...

The All-Pairs Shortest Paths Problem, Seeking the Shortest Distance Between Every Node Pair in a Graph, is Efficiently Solved by Johnson's Algorithm for All Pairs of a Vertext, Bellman-Ford for ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

This image shows the difference between standard industrial Etherent cabling (top) with 4 twisted wire pairs and SPE cabling (bottom) with one pair of twisted wires. SPE delivers standard Ethernet ...

Single-pair Ethernet (SPE) is gaining recognition as a streamlined industrial networking solution that simplifies how components in machine design communicate, power and integrate. Recent insights ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.
