Computational experiments on algorithms can supplement theoretical analysis by showing what algorithms, implementations and speed-up methods work best for specific machines or problems. This book guides the reader through the nuts and bolts of the major experimental questions: What should I measure? What inputs should I test? How do I analyze the data? To answer these questions the book draws on ideas from algorithm design and analysis, computer systems, and statistics and data analysis. The wide-ranging discussion includes a tutorial on system clocks and CPU timers, a survey of strategies for tuning algorithms and data structures, a cookbook of methods ... Read more

Reviews for A Guide to Experimental Algorithmics
'Catherine McGeoch is one of the founders of the field of experimental algorithmics, helping to initiate the discipline with her 1986 dissertation, 'Experimental Analysis of Algorithms'. She has been deeply involved with the development of the methodology of experimental algorithmics over the past 25 years … This book contains a breadth of advice, examples, and anecdotes, benefiting from her wealth ...
