<p>Suppose I have a singular projective variety defined by some homogeneous equations in complex projective space. Is the resolution of singularities effective? That is, do I actually know which smooth centers to blow up?</p>

<p>Yes, in the sense that resolution of singularities is implemented in the computer algebra package Singular. See the manual of Singular for references. (There might be other/better references.) However, if I remember correctly the centers are not unique.</p>
