Short: Arbitrary precision math library. V2.0.2 Author: Torbjorn Granlund Type: dev/ade Version: 2.0.2 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Origin: Amiga Development Environment, ftp.ninemoons.com:pub/ade GNU MP is a library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers and rational numbers. It has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular interface. The author has tried to make these functions as fast as possible, both for small operands and for huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as the basic arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, by defining inline assembler for mixed sized multiplication and division (i.e 32*32->64 bit multiplication and 64/32->32,32 bit division), and by hacking the code with emphasis on speed (and not simplicity and elegance). The speed of GNU MP is about 5 to 100 times that of Berkeley MP for small operands. The speed-up increases with the operand sizes for certain operations, for which GNU MP has asymptotically faster algorithms.
