Eigen is implemented using the expression templates metaprogramming technique, meaning it builds expression trees at compile time and generates custom code to evaluate these. Using expression templates and a cost model of floating point operations, the library performs its own loop unrolling and vectorization.[4] Eigen itself can provide BLAS and a subset of LAPACK interfaces.[5]
