heal.abstract	In the context of the dynamically typed concurrent functional pro- gramming 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.	en
