# Nexus Sort


A cognitive, multi-strategy sorting framework in Rust, designed for high performance by intelligently choosing the best sorting strategy for your data. This library was designed and built as a collaboration between a human user and a large language model (Google's Gemini).

## Core Concept


Instead of a "one size fits all" approach, `NexusSort` analyzes the input data and selects the optimal algorithm from its arsenal:

- For **integers**, it uses its Cognitive Engine to choose between a hyper-optimized stable sort (`Timsort`) or unstable sort (`Introsort`). For random data, it defaults to a Radix Sort for maximum performance.
- For **floats**, it uses a specialized `f32` sorter that can leverage a bit-level Radix Sort, yielding massive performance gains over traditional comparison sorts.

## Performance: Proof of Victory


Benchmarks were conducted against the Rust `1.xx.x` standard library's sorting functions. The results demonstrate significant performance gains.

### Integer Sorting (Random `i32` Data)


`NexusSort` (using its Radix path) vs. `std::sort_unstable`.

| Input Size | NexusSort (µs) | `std::sort_unstable` (µs) | Performance Gain |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 1,000 | **~12.5 µs** | ~24.1 µs | **~93% Faster** |
| 10,000 | **~172.3 µs** | ~215.2 µs | **~25% Faster** |

### Float Sorting (Random `f32` Data)


`NexusSort` (using its Radix path) vs. `std::sort` (stable).

| Input Size | NexusSort (µs) | `std::sort` (µs) | Performance Gain |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 1,000 | **~16.3 µs** | ~50.8 µs | **~212% Faster** |
| 10,000 | **~174.4 µs** | ~1129.7 µs | **~547% Faster** |

## Usage


Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
nexus_sort_core = "1.0.1" 
```

And use it in your code:

```rust
use nexus_sort_core::{nexus_sort, nexus_sort_f32};

// Sorting integers
let mut numbers = vec!;
nexus_sort(&mut numbers);

// Sorting floats
let mut floats = vec!;
nexus_sort_f32(&mut floats);
```
