We describe a simple algorithm that computes the recently discovered branetilings for a given generic toric singular Calabi-Yau threefold. This thereforegives AdS/CFT dual quiver gauge theories for D3-branes probing the givennon-compact manifold. The algorithm solves a longstanding problem by computingsuperpotentials for these theories directly from the toric diagram of thesingularity. We study the parameter space of a-maximization; this study is madepossible by identifying the R-charges of bifundamental fields as angles in thebrane tiling. We also study Seiberg duality from a new perspective.Comment: 36 pages, 40 figures, JHEP
