    6767The benchmarks below were made with unmodified multi-precision libraries for Integral Arithmetic compiled using Apple gcc 4.0.1 with optimisation settings: -O3 -ftree-vectorize -falign-loops=16.  The tests performed Multiplication, Squaring, Powers (up to 7) and Division each 1,000,000 times at various levels of precision based on the number of bits in the operands.  Multi-precision libraries may use unsigned chars, unsigned ints, unsigned long ints, unsigned long long ints or doubles, so the actual number of "words" in each multi-precision array may differ; for multi-precision real numbers using doubles, integer precision was calculated at 48.3 bits of real precision per double, rounded up to 49.  (49 bits conservatively equates to about 9 decimal digits.)  Libraries tested were:

    72 [http://www.eskimo.com/~weidai/cryptlib.html Crypto++] a cryptographic library in C++, the Integer class 
    73 [http://botan.randombit.net/ Botan] a cryptographic library in C++,  
    74 [http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~sting/mpi/ MPI] (MPI) 
    75 [http://www.tc.umn.edu/~ringx004/mapm-main.html MAPM] (MPI)

    77 Crypto++, Botan, MPI and MAPM showed performance far below ARPREC, OpenSSL's BN, GMP and LibTomMath, so results are only shown for the last four.  Note that there are other libraries available for arbitrary precision arithmetic other than those mention here.

     78Crypto++, Botan, MPI and MAPM showed performance far below ARPREC, OpenSSL's BN, GMP and !LibTomMath, so results are only shown for the last four.  Note that there are other libraries available for arbitrary precision arithmetic other than those mentioned or tested here.  Most of those other libraries are licensed under the GPL, while the remainder, such as the [http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/decnumber.html decNumber] library (licensed under the [http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/license.jsp ICU license] are designed and tuned for operations that would be difficult to translate into Haskell's Integer primitive.
