Gaalop (Geometic Algebra Algorithms Optimizer) is a software to compile and optimize geometric algebra (GA) expressions into high-level programming language code. Geometric algebra expressions can be developed using the freely available CLUCalc software by Christian Perwass. Gaalop optimizes CLUCalc expressions and produces C++ (AMP), OpenCL, CUDA, CLUCalc or LaTeX output. The optimized code is free of geometric algebra operations and runs very efficiently on various platforms.

# What is Geometric Algebra?

This is probably best explained in this article:

https://slehar.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/clifford-algebra-a-visual-introduction/

or this book:

# Gaalop Precompiler (GPC)

Note that this repository also contains Gaalop Precompiler (GPC)

in the branch gaalop_precompiler.

GPC integrates Gaalop directly into CMake-generated C/C++-toolchains.

Gaalop Precompiler reuses most of the code of Gaalop

which is why merges from Gaalop are required quite often.

# How to compile?

Please visit the [wiki](https://github.com/CallForSanity/Gaalop/wiki) on this repository. 

You will find manuals for compiling GAALOP and GAALOP Precompiler.
