Miscellaneous Examples

Abstract

We look at a number of additional examples including

• the earlier date derived type extended with US and ISO date formats

• a binary search example

• three sorting examples, including a recursive algorithm, a non recursive algorithm and a parallelised subroutine from the Nag library

  • timing details for our generic serial Quicksort algorithm for five of the numeric kind types

  • timing details of the Netlib serial non recursive Quicksort for 32 bit integers , 32 bit reals and 64 bit reals

  • a comparison of the timing of the above two sorting algorithms

  • the Nag SMP sorting routine m01caf for 64 bit reals

  • timing details of the parallel Nag sorting subroutine

• graphics libraries

• the dislin graphics library

• examples calling the dislin library.

The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.
