Hans-G?nter@24922 1 The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point
Hans-G?nter@24922 2 computations with correct rounding.
Hans-G?nter@24922 3 MPFR has continuously been supported by the INRIA and the current main
Hans-G?nter@24922 4 authors come from the Caramba and AriC project-teams at Loria
Hans-G?nter@24922 5 (Nancy, France) and LIP (Lyon, France) respectively.
Hans-G?nter@24922 6 MPFR is based on the GMP multiple-precision library.

Hans-G?nter@24922 8 The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision
Hans-G?nter@24922 9 floating-point computation which is both efficient and has a
Hans-G?nter@24922 10 well-defined semantics.
Hans-G?nter@24922 11 It copies the good ideas from the ANSI/IEEE-754 standard for
Hans-G?nter@24922 12 double-precision floating-point arithmetic (53-bit significand).
