Dietmar Kuhl, Senior Engineer at Bloomberg - Quicker Sorting
Quicksort is a well-known sorting algorithm used to implement sort functionality in many libraries, but a textbook implementation of the algorithm is actually not that quick. Some small additions can improve the implementation significantly. This presentation starts with a simple implementation and makes incremental improvements to eventually yield a proper generic and fast sorting function. All code will be in C++ but it should be possible to follow the majority of the reasoning with knowledge of another programming language.
