MPIR (mathematics software)
MPIR - Multiple Precision Integers and Rationals is an open source multiprecision integer library forked from the GMP project. It consists of much code from past GMP releases, in combination with much original contributed code.
According to the MPIR developers some of the primary goals of the MPIR project are:
- The development of parallel algorithms for multiprecision arithmetic including support for GPU's and other multicore processors.
- To provide build support for Linux, Apple's, Sun's and Microsoft's systems.
- To maintain compatibility with GMP - so that MPIR can be used as a replacement for GMP.
- Support for building MPIR using Microsoft based build tools for using it in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.
