Abstract: We introduce a fast implementation of the pivot algorithm for self-avoiding walks, which we use to obtain large samples of walks on the cubic lattice of up to

33 i m e s 1 0^{6}

steps. Consequently the critical exponent

u

for three-dimensional self-avoiding walks is determined to great accuracy; the final estimate is

u = 0.587597 (7)

. The method can be adapted to other models of polymers with short-range interactions, on the lattice or in the continuum.
