AlgLab: An Open Laboratory for Experiments On Algorithms

Welcome!

Welcome to the open laboratory for experiments on algorithms. Computer scientists experiment on algorithms for many reasons, including:

• To understand their fundamental properties.
• To compare several algorithms to choose the best one for application.
• To tune an algorithm to perform well in a given context.

This web site contains laboratories for conducting experiments on algorithms. It is a companion site for A Guide to Experimental Algorithmics, by Catherine McGeoch (Cambridge University Press).

Some visitors might want to look at the labs to see how people experiment. Others might want to re-do some old experiments to ensure consistent results. More adventurous readers might want to extend the labs to conduct their own experiments. Enjoy!
