%%name: GNUmp

%%short-description: library for arithmetic on arbitrary precision integers.
 
%%full-description: GNUmp is a lib operating on signed integers,
rational numbers, and floating point numbers. All functions have a
standardized interface.

GNUmp is designed to be as fast as possible by using fullwords as the
basic arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, by carefully
optimizing assembly code for the most common inner loops for many
CPUs, and by a general emphasis on speed (as opposed to simplicity or
elegance).

GNUmp's speed advantage increases with the operand size, since GNUmp
in many cases has asymptomatically faster algorithms.
