Intel Releases x86-simd-sort 6.0 For Speedy AVX2/AVX-512 Sorting, PyTorch Now Using It
The x86-simd-sort project from Intel has been an interesting open-source software effort for much faster number sorting by using AVX-512
There's been lightning fast number sorting with AVX-512 and AVX2 code paths also added to broaden the appeal in helping CPUs without AVX-512. Opened back in June was this merge request to PyTorch to begin making use of x86-simd-sort for faster sorting on x86/x86_64. The torch.sort and torch.argsort functions stand to benefit with the up to 10x gains.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
