Steve on Image ProcessingApril 11th, 2012And now for something completely differentThe following video spread up and down the MATLAB Math team's hallway like wildfire yesterday:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywWBy6J5gz8 I said there was some room for improvement because I thought the last 20 seconds or so of the algorithm could be optimized away. However, math developer Bobby informed me that those last few dance steps are necessary to make sure that the right thing happens when the input contains NaNs. (Thanks also to Bobby for providing the title of today's post.)

Brilliant!
…and there is a merge-sort too!
(Once when sorting out the mess in the office I compared merge-sort and quick-sort, and found quick-sort to be a funnier way to get the papers in alphabetical order.)
That last bit is a much needed set of cache coherency steps.
Great stuff…hard to stop watching, even when you know where it’s going! :)
