Bucket sort and RADIX sort are two well-known integer sorting al-
gorithms. This paper measures empirically what is the time usage and
memory consumption for dierent kinds of input sequences. The algo-
rithms are compared both from a theoretical standpoint but also on how
well they do in six dierent use cases using randomized sequences of num-
bers. The measurements provide data on how good they are in dierent
real-life situations.
It was found that bucket sort was faster than RADIX sort, but that
bucket sort uses more memory in most cases. The sorting algorithms
performed faster with smaller integers. The RADIX sort was not quicker
with already sorted inputs, but the bucket sort was.
