GMP Description

Free and open source multiple precision arithmetic library GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. There is no practical limit to the precision except the ones implied by the available memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular interface.The main target applications for GMP are algebra systems, computational algebra research, cryptography applications and research, Internet security applications, etc.GMP is carefully designed to be 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, with highly optimized assembly code for the most common inner loops for a lot of CPUs, and by a general emphasis on speed. What's New in This Release: Bugs: · Fixed bug in mpn_gcdext, affecting also mpz_gcdext and mpz_invert. The bug could cause a cofactor to have a leading zero limb, which could lead to crashes or miscomputation later on. · Fixed some minor documentation issues. Features: · Workarounds for various issues with Mac OS X's build tools. · Recognize more IBM "POWER" processor variants.
