+GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating
+on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers.
+There is no limit to the precision except the ones implied by the
+available memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of
+functions, and the functions have a regular interface. 
+
+GMP is designed to be as fast as possible, both for small operands
+and for huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as
+the basic arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, with carefully
+optimized assembly code for the most common inner loops for a lot of
+CPUs, and by a general emphasis on speed (instead of simplicity or
+elegance). 
+
+GMP is believed to be faster than any other similar library. The
+advantage for GMP increases with the operand sizes for certain
+operations, since GMP in many cases has asymptotically faster
+algorithms.
