Welcome to the Gaalop website!

What is Gaalop?

Gaalop (Geometic Algebra Algorithms Optimizer) is a software to optimize geometric algebra files.
Algorithms can be developed by using the freely available CLUCalc software by Christian Perwass. Gaalop optimizes the algorithm and produces C++, CLUCalc or LaTeX output (other output-formats will follow soon).
The optimized code has no more geometric algebra operations and can be run very efficiently on various platforms.
See the documentation for a detailed description.
