%0 Journal Article %1 Reiter2009Optimising %A Reiter, Thomas %D 2009 %K pheno, tools %T Optimising Code Generation with haggies %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.3714 %X This article describes haggies, a program for the generation of optimised programs for the efficient numerical evaluation of mathematical expressions. It uses a multivariate Horner-scheme and Common Subexpression Elimination to reduce the overall number of operations. The package can serve as a back-end for virtually any general purpose computer algebra program. Built-in type inference that allows to deal with non-standard data types in strongly typed languages and a very flexible, pattern-based output specification ensure that haggies can produce code for a large variety of programming languages. We currently use haggies as part of an automated package for the calculation of one-loop scattering amplitudes in quantum field theories. The examples in this articles, however, demonstrate that its use is not restricted to the field of high energy physics.
