For the study of reactions in High Energy Physics (HEP) automatic computation systems have been developed and are widely used nowadays. GRACE is one of such systems and it has achieved much success in analyzing experimental data. Since we deal with the cross section whose value can be given by calculating hundreds of Feynman diagrams, we manage the large scale calculation, so that effective symbolic manipulation, the treat of singularity in the numerical integration are required. The talk will describe the software design of GRACE system and computational techniques in the GRACE. §1. IntroductionHigh energy experimental physics has produced excellent results thanks to the progress of the detectors and the development of the high energy accelerators with high luminosity. Accordingly, the accurate theoretical computation is required to compare experimental results with theoretical predictions. On the other hand, as the beam energy becomes higher, there appear the physics processes with many final state particles. As a matter of course the number of relevant Feynman diagrams becomes huge. This means that Feynman amplitude calculation is practically impossible when one calculates cross sections by hands.Since the perturbative calculation in quantum field theory is well-defined, it can be realized as an automatic computation system. There appeared several systems, for instance, CompHEP 1) and FeynArt/FeynCalc 2) , in HEP and nowadays the automatic computation of Feynman amplitudes becomes common.We have developed an automatic computation system named GRACE. 3) In section 2, we describe the feature of GRACE system as a concrete example of such system. In section 3, several physical achievements by GRACE are briefly explained. In section 4, we discuss the techniques in GRACE from the view point of computing.

A new method to construct event-generators based on next-to-leading order QCD matrixelements and leading-logarithmic parton showers is proposed. Matrix elements of loop diagram as well as those of a tree level can be generated using an automatic system. A soft/collinear singularity is treated using a leading-log subtraction method. Higher order re-summation of the soft/collinear correction by the parton shower method is combined with the NLO matrix-element without any double-counting in this method.An example of the event generator for Drell-Yan process is given for demonstrating a validity of this method.
