[COPY] --- SDE-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] The GNU MP (multiple precision arithmetic) library [T] GNU MP is a library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed [T] integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. It has a rich set [T] of functions, and the functions have a regular interface. [T] [T] GNU MP is designed to be as fast as possible, both for small operands and [T] for huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as the basic [T] arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, by carefully optimized assembly [T] code for the most common inner loops for a lots of CPUs, and by a general [T] emphasis on speed (instead of simplicity or elegance). [T] [T] The speed of GNU MP is believed to be faster than any other similar library. [T] The advantage for GNU MP increases with the operand sizes for certain [T] operations, since GNU MP in many cases has asymptotically faster algorithms.
