In the context of the dynamically typed concurrent functional programming language ERLANG, we describe a simple static analysis for identifying variables containing floating point numbers, how this information is used by the BEAM compiler, and a scheme for efficient (just-in-time) compilation of floating point bytecode instructions to native code. The attractiveness of the scheme lies in its implementation simplicity. It has been fully incorporated in Erlang/OTP R9, and improves the performance of ERLANG programs manipulating floats considerably. We also show that by using this scheme, Erlang/OTP, despite being an implementation of a dynamically typed language, achieves performance which is competitive with that of state-of-the-art implementations of strongly typed strict functional languages on floating point intensive programs.
