Collected <strong>Algorithm</strong>s of the ACM<br />

An early mechanism for the distribution of useful algorithm implementations was CALGO, the Collected<br />

<strong>Algorithm</strong>s of the ACM. It first appeared in Communications of the ACM in 1960, covering such famous<br />

algorithms as Floyd's linear-time build heap algorithm. More recently, it has been the province of the<br />

ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software. Each algorithm/implementation is described in a brief<br />

journal article, with the implementation validated and collected. <strong>The</strong>se implementations are maintained at<br />

http://www.acm.org/calgo/ and at Netlib.<br />

Over 750 algorithms have appeared to date. Most of the codes are in Fortran and are relevant to<br />

numerical computing, although several interesting combinatorial algorithms have slithered their way into<br />

CALGO. Since the implementations have been refereed, they are presumably more reliable than most<br />

readily available software.<br />
