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 + roundings provided by MPFR. Further advantages of using MPFR are its + portability and compliance with the IEEE 754 standard for + floating-point arithmetic. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
