QUICK VERDICT
256 GitHub stars and counting — tsenart/kth is a Go project TopGit is tracking across repositories on the platform. Fast selection algorithms for Go
Snapshot summary built from the project's own GitHub metadata — there's no written TopGit review yet. The page will update automatically when a full review is published.
WHY NO REVIEW YET
TopGit writes full reviews for the most-starred, most-requested repositories. This page is a snapshot until then — see the READ ME tab for the original README in full.

kth: High-Performance Selection Algorithms for Go
kth provides high-performance selection algorithms that find the k-th smallest element without sorting the entire dataset. It's especially useful for operations like finding top-N elements or medians in large datasets.
Features
- Algorithms for Different Needs:
- FloydRivest: Fastest for random data distributions
- PDQSelect: Most consistent across all data patterns
- Speed: Both significantly outperform sort-based selection, with up to 99% improvement in common cases
- Memory Efficient: All operations are in-place, requiring no additional memory
- Production Ready: Battle-tested and fuzzed implementations that work with any ordered type
Installation
go get github.com/tsenart/kth
Usage
The library provides three ways to use each algorithm, depending on your data type:
// 1. For types implementing sort.Interface
func PDQSelect(data sort.Interface, k int)
func FloydRivest(data sort.Interface, k int)
// 2. For slices of ordered types
func PDQSelectOrdered[T cmp.Ordered](data []T, k int)
func FloydRivestOrdered[T cmp.Ordered](data []T, k int)
// 3. For custom comparison functions
func PDQSelectFunc[E any](data []E, k int, less func(a, b E) bool)
func FloydRivestFunc[E any](data []E, k int, less func(a, b E) bool)
Examples
- Using with
sort.Interface:
type Ints []int
func (x Ints) Len() int { return len(x) }
func (x Ints) Less(i, j int) bool { return x[i] < x[j] }
func (x Ints) Swap(i, j int) { x[i], x[j] = x[j], x[i] }
data := Ints{7, 4, 9, 1, 3, 8, 2, 6, 5}
FloydRivest(data, 3) // Find 3rd smallest
// data is now partitioned with the 3rd element (3) in position
// [1 2 3 | 7 4 9 8 6 5] (elements around 3 may not be sorted)
- Using with
cmp.Orderedtypes:
scores := []float64{89.7, 95.3, 78.4, 92.1, 88.9}
PDQSelectOrdered(scores, len(scores)/2) // Find median
// scores now has median at middle position
- Using with custom comparison:
type User struct {
Name string
Age int
}
users := []User{
{"Alice", 25},
{"Bob", 30},
{"Charlie", 20},
}
// Find youngest 2 users
PDQSelectFunc(users, 2, func(a, b User) bool {
return a.Age < b.Age
})
