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