Architecture-Cognizant Divide and Conquer Algorithms Introduction Have you ever tried solving a massive problem by breaking it down into smaller, manageable pieces? That’s the idea behind Divide and Conquer (D&C) algorithms. They’re used in sorting, searching, and even advanced computations. Core Idea & Architecture Overview Traditional Divide & Conquer assumes that all processors are created equal and ignores how data flows through memory. But in reality, computers are layered: Cores: Multiple processors doing tasks in parallel. Cache: Small, fast memory near the processor. Main Memory (RAM): Slower but larger memory. ⚙️ Key Characteristics of Divide and Conquer Di...
