GMP has a rich set of -functions, and the functions have a regular interface. - -GMP is 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 carefully -optimized assembly code for the most common inner loops for a lot of -CPUs, and by a general emphasis on speed (instead of simplicity or -elegance). - -GMP is believed to be faster than any other similar library. The -advantage for GMP increases with the operand sizes for certain -operations, since GMP in many cases has asymptotically faster -algorithms. - -WWW: http://gmplib.org/ - -- Alex Dupre -ale@FreeBSD.org |
