The computation of the Kummer function M(a, b, x) is considered in this paper.An efficient and accurate algorithm combining asymptotic expansions for large values of the parameters and power series is presented. Numerical tests show that a Matlab implementation of the algorithm allows the computation of the function with relative accuracy in the parameter region in double precision floating point arithmetic.
