Computation/Programming Links:

I use fortran and Matlab for computation/numerical simulation. For fortran, I use Intel's compiler and Math Kernel Library.

Some useful links I've come across for coding examples and various subroutines:

John Burkardt keeps a huge list of programs, subroutines, and libraries in several languages here: John Burkardt's web page

Jason Blevins maintains Alan Miller's fortran source code repository here: Alan Miller's Fortran Software

Hans Mittelmann's Decision Tree for Optimization Software is a good resource for finding open-source optimization routines for a variety of problems in several languages: Decision Tree for Optimization Software

Arnold Neumaier's links and resources on global and local optimization: Global (and local) Optimization

Archive of coding materials maintained in REPEC. The programs provided in articles published by Review of Economic Dynamics can be especially useful: https://ideas.repec.org/i/c.html
