Abstract
In the last decade, Expression Templates (ET) have gained a reputation as an efficient performance optimization tool for C++ codes. This reputation builds on several ET-based linear algebra frameworks focused on combining both elegant and high-performance C++ code. However, on closer examination the assumption that ETs are a performance optimization technique cannot be maintained. In this paper we demonstrate and explain the inability of current ET-based frameworks to deliver high performance for dense and sparse linear algebra operations, and introduce a new "smart" ET implementation that truly allows the combination of high performance code with the elegance and maintainability of a domain-specific language.
