Cache Efficient Functional Algorithms
We present a cost model for analyzing the memory efficiency of algorithms expressed in a simple functional language.
Technical Perspective: The Simplicity of Cache Efficient Functional Algorithms
In "Cache Efficient Functional Algorithms," Blelloch and Harper suggest we analyze the costs of functional algorithms by assuming objects are allocated sequentially in cache memory, with each new object adjacent to the previously allocated object.

A New Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of ACM
I am extremely pleased to welcome Robert (Bobby) Schnabel as the new CEO and Executive Director of ACM.
ACM will be 70 years old in 2017. It is not too early to being thinking about how we might usefully recognize this milestone. Such moments encourage all of us to think about what we want to achieve in the future.
The Filter Bubble: Is It Real? Does It Matter?
What are the consequences of the same searches yielding different results for different people?
Exascale Computing and Big Data: Time To Reunite
It is past time to reunite the big data, cloud, and high-performance computing communities. Each can each learn much from the other.
Considering the implications of digital data removal implementations.
Future Internets Escape the Simulator

Illumiroom: Immersive Experiences Beyond the TV Screen
IllumiRoom is a proof-of-concept system that surrounds a television with projected light, bringing video games, and film experiences out of the TV screen and into the real world.
Bringing Evidence-Based Education to CS
Mark Guzdial says computer science teachers should use more evidence, less intuition.
An Interview with U.S. Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith
Recently appointed U.S. CTO Megan Smith discusses her evolving governmental role.
Turing Lecture: The Computer Science of Concurrency: The Early Years
Leslie Lamport is the recipient of the 2013 ACM A.M. Turing Award.
Klaus Tschira, the entrepreneur, software pioneer, and patron and supporter of scientific research who died unexpectedly on March 31st, 2015, made numerous lasting contributions to the scientific community.
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
