Computational Algebra Seminar: Hart -- MPIR : a library for Multiple Precision Arithmetic

    The MPIR project is a library for multiple precision                        
    integer and rational arithmetic, based on the GNU MP                        
    library. Work on MPIR began about two years ago and                         
    the library has just had its fifth major release. Since that                
    time multiple precision arithmetic has roughly doubled in speed.            
                                                                                
    I shall describe some of the recent algorithmic and                         
    other improvements which have been made in the area,                        
    as implemented in the MPIR library.
