It has a rich set -of functions, and the functions have a regular interface. - -GNU MP 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, by carefully optimized assembly -code for the most common inner loops for a lots of CPUs, and by a general -emphasis on speed (instead of simplicity or elegance). - -The speed of GNU MP is believed to be faster than any other similar library. -The advantage for GNU MP increases with the operand sizes for certain -operations, since GNU MP in many cases has asymptotically faster algorithms. - -Note: This package contains version the the library just before it was -removed from the FreeBSD base system (5-CURRENT, mid-August 2001) and it is -provided solely for compatibility with packages that require it. |
