1 The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point
2 computations with correct rounding.
3 MPFR has continuously been supported by the INRIA and the current main
4 authors come from the Caramba and AriC project-teams at Loria
5 (Nancy, France) and LIP (Lyon, France) respectively.
6 MPFR is based on the GMP multiple-precision library.
8 The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision
9 floating-point computation which is both efficient and has a
10 well-defined semantics.
11 It copies the good ideas from the ANSI/IEEE-754 standard for
12 double-precision floating-point arithmetic (53-bit significand).
