MASTER_SITES moved to ENS Lyon. Meanwhile the tarball has been rerolled: - many auto* stuff: configure is now pre-generated; - mpfi.pc is available - change tests but also some code has been modified.

MPFI is a library for interval arithmetic, which is built upon the MPFR
|
|
multiple precision floating-point arithmetic.
|
|
|
|
MPFI is intended to be a portable library written in C for arbitrary
|
|
precision interval arithmetic with intervals represented using MPFR
|
|
reliable floating-point numbers. It is based on the GNU MP library and
|
|
on the MPFR library. The purpose of an arbitrary precision interval
|
|
arithmetic is on the one hand to get "guaranteed" results, thanks to
|
|
interval computation, and on the other hand to obtain accurate results,
|
|
thanks to multiple precision arithmetic. The MPFI library is built upon
|
|
MPFR in order to benefit from the correct rounding provided, for each
|
|
operation or function, by MPFR. Further advantages of using MPFR are
|
|
its portability and compliance with the IEEE 754 standard for
|
|
floating-point arithmetic.
