Abstract
I present a summary of recent algorithmic developments for lattice field theories. In particular I give a pedagogical introduction to the new Multicanonical algorithm, and discuss the relation between the Hybrid Overrelaxation and Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithms. I also attempt to clarify the role of the dynamical critical exponent z and its connection with `computational cost.' [Includes four PostScript figures]
