There seems to be a misunderstanding of the word algorithm here. "Algorithm" refers to a set of instructions/operations that do not necessarily occur on a computer. You may know non-computer algorithms as "routines" or "procedures".
I can assure you there is none , the misunderstanding is with my original comment: 'writing an algorithm'.

Like the algorithm "make a nice, hot cup of coffee", which is executed billions of times each day by biological computers known as humans.
EDIT: wrt my naff spelling.
