+/** \page TopicWritingEfficientProductExpression Writing efficient matrix product expressions
+
+In general achieving good performance with Eigen does no require any special effort:
+simply write your expressions in the most high level way. This is especially true
+for small fixed size matrices. For large matrices, however, it might be useful to
+take some care when writing your expressions in order to minimize useless evaluations
+and optimize the performance.
+In this page we will give a brief overview of the Eigen's internal mechanism to simplify
+and evaluate complex product expressions, and discuss the current limitations.
+In particular we will focus on expressions matching level 2 and 3 BLAS routines, i.e,
+all kind of matrix products and triangular solvers.
+
+Indeed, in Eigen we have implemented a set of highly optimized routines which are very similar
+to BLAS's ones. Unlike BLAS, those routines are made available to user via a high level and
+natural API. Each of these routines can compute in a single evaluation a wide variety of expressions.
+Given an expression, the challenge is then to map it to a minimal set of routines.
+As explained latter, this mechanism has some limitations, and knowing them will allow
+you to write faster code by making your expressions more Eigen friendly.
+
+\section GEMM General Matrix-Matrix product (GEMM)
+
+Let's start with the most common primitive: the matrix product of general dense matrices.
+In the BLAS world this corresponds to the GEMM routine. Our equivalent primitive can
+perform the following operation:
+\f$ C.noalias() += \alpha op1(A) op2(B) \f$
+where A, B, and C are column and/or row major matrices (or sub-matrices),
+alpha is a scalar value, and op1, op2 can be transpose, adjoint, conjugate, or the identity.
+When Eigen detects a matrix product, it analyzes both sides of the product to extract a
+unique scalar factor alpha, and for each side, its effective storage order, shape, and conjugation states.
+More precisely each side is simplified by iteratively removing trivial expressions such as scalar multiple,
+negation and conjugation. Transpose and Block expressions are not evaluated and they only modify the storage order
+and shape. All other expressions are immediately evaluated.
+For instance, the following expression:
+\code m1.noalias() -= s4 * (s1 * m2.adjoint() * (-(s3*m3).conjugate()*s2))  \endcode
+is automatically simplified to:
+\code m1.noalias() += (s1*s2*conj(s3)*s4) * m2.adjoint() * m3.conjugate() \endcode
+which exactly matches our GEMM routine.
+
+\subsection GEMM_Limitations Limitations
+Unfortunately, this simplification mechanism is not perfect yet and not all expressions which could be
+handled by a single GEMM-like call are correctly detected.
