How do I simulate a sorting algorithm?

Open this page and use the live Gradient Descent tool below — set your inputs and the simulation runs instantly in your browser using real numerics. No install, no account needed.

Yes. The simulation runs free in your browser. A one-time unlock or a Pro plan adds advanced parameters, saved presets, data import, and clean exports.

Can I use my own numbers?

Absolutely — every input is adjustable, and with data import you can drive a sorting algorithm from your own measurements.

Watch gradient descent (with momentum) roll downhill on different loss landscapes. Too high a learning rate overshoots.

Governing equation

x_{k + 1} = x_{k} - η \nabla f (x_{k}), η = 3

Reading this result: A learning rate of 3 is well matched to the curvature here: steps are large enough to make progress yet small enough to avoid overshoot, giving a smooth, roughly quadratic descent toward the minimum.

About this simulation

The full Gradient Descent tool models a sorting algorithm with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
