AlgoWiki is an open encyclopedia of algorithms’ properties and features of their implementations on different hardware and software platforms from mobile to extreme scale, which allows for collaboration with the worldwide computing community on algorithm descriptions. Computers evolve quickly, and there have been at least six generations of computing architecture over the last forty years that caused the need for radical changes in the software. Vector computers, vector-parallel, massively parallel computers, shared-memory nodes, clusters of shared-memory computers, computers with accelerators... The computing community has survived this, but in each evolution, the software had to be rewritten from scratch as each new generation of machines required singling out new properties in the algorithms, and that was reflected in the software. Alas, there is no reason to hope that the situation will change for the better in the future. Vendors are already considering various prospective archite
