15.2.6 Exact Remainder
----------------------

If the exact division algorithm is done with a full subtraction at each
stage and the dividend isn't a multiple of the divisor, then low zero
limbs are produced but with a remainder in the high limbs.  For dividend
a, divisor d, quotient q, and b = 2^mp_bits_per_limb, this remainder r
is of the form

     a = q*d + r*b^n

   n represents the number of zero limbs produced by the subtractions,
that being the number of limbs produced for q.  r will be in the range
0<=r<d and can be viewed as a remainder, but one shifted up by a factor
of b^n.

   Carrying out full subtractions at each stage means the same number of
cross products must be done as a normal division, but there's still some
single limb divisions saved.  When d is a single limb some
simplifications arise, providing good speedups on a number of
processors.

   The functions 'mpn_divexact_by3', 'mpn_modexact_1_odd' and the
internal 'mpn_redc_X' functions differ subtly in how they return r,
leading to some negations in the above formula, but all are essentially
the same.

   Clearly r is zero when a is a multiple of d, and this leads to
divisibility or congruence tests which are potentially more efficient
than a normal division.

   The factor of b^n on r can be ignored in a GCD when d is odd, hence
the use of 'mpn_modexact_1_odd' by 'mpn_gcd_1' and 'mpz_kronecker_ui'
etc (*note Greatest Common Divisor Algorithms::).

   Montgomery's REDC method for modular multiplications uses operands of
the form of x*b^-n and y*b^-n and on calculating (x*b^-n)*(y*b^-n) uses
the factor of b^n in the exact remainder to reach a product in the same
form (x*y)*b^-n (*note Modular Powering Algorithm::).

   Notice that r generally gives no useful information about the
ordinary remainder a mod d since b^n mod d could be anything.  If
however b^n == 1 mod d, then r is the negative of the ordinary
remainder.  This occurs whenever d is a factor of b^n-1, as for example
with 3 in 'mpn_divexact_by3'.  For a 32 or 64 bit limb other such
factors include 5, 17 and 257, but no particular use has been found for
this.

15.2.7 Small Quotient Division
------------------------------

An NxM division where the number of quotient limbs Q=N-M is small can be
optimized somewhat.

   An ordinary basecase division normalizes the divisor by shifting it
to make the high bit set, shifting the dividend accordingly, and
shifting the remainder back down at the end of the calculation.  This is
wasteful if only a few quotient limbs are to be formed.  Instead a
division of just the top 2*Q limbs of the dividend by the top Q limbs of
the divisor can be used to form a trial quotient.  This requires only
those limbs normalized, not the whole of the divisor and dividend.

   A multiply and subtract then applies the trial quotient to the M-Q
unused limbs of the divisor and N-Q dividend limbs (which includes Q
limbs remaining from the trial quotient division).  The starting trial
quotient can be 1 or 2 too big, but all cases of 2 too big and most
cases of 1 too big are detected by first comparing the most significant
limbs that will arise from the subtraction.  An addback is done if the
quotient still turns out to be 1 too big.

   This whole procedure is essentially the same as one step of the
basecase algorithm done in a Q limb base, though with the trial quotient
test done only with the high limbs, not an entire Q limb "digit"
product.  The correctness of this weaker test can be established by
following the argument of Knuth section 4.3.1 exercise 20 but with the
v2*q>b*r+u2 condition appropriately relaxed.

File: gmp.info,  Node: Binary GCD,  Next: Lehmer's Algorithm,  Prev: Greatest Common Divisor Algorithms,  Up: Greatest Common Divisor Algorithms

15.3.1 Binary GCD
-----------------

At small sizes GMP uses an O(N^2) binary style GCD.  This is described
in many textbooks, for example Knuth section 4.5.2 algorithm B.  It
simply consists of successively reducing odd operands a and b using

     a,b = abs(a-b),min(a,b)
     strip factors of 2 from a

   The Euclidean GCD algorithm, as per Knuth algorithms E and A,
repeatedly computes the quotient q = floor(a/b) and replaces a,b by v, u
- q v.  The binary algorithm has so far been found to be faster than the
Euclidean algorithm everywhere.  One reason the binary method does well
is that the implied quotient at each step is usually small, so often
only one or two subtractions are needed to get the same effect as a
division.  Quotients 1, 2 and 3 for example occur 67.7% of the time, see
Knuth section 4.5.3 Theorem E.

   When the implied quotient is large, meaning b is much smaller than a,
then a division is worthwhile.  This is the basis for the initial a mod
b reductions in 'mpn_gcd' and 'mpn_gcd_1' (the latter for both Nx1 and
1x1 cases).  But after that initial reduction, big quotients occur too
rarely to make it worth checking for them.


   The final 1x1 GCD in 'mpn_gcd_1' is done in the generic C code as
described above.  For two N-bit operands, the algorithm takes about 0.68
iterations per bit.  For optimum performance some attention needs to be
paid to the way the factors of 2 are stripped from a.

   Firstly it may be noted that in twos complement the number of low
zero bits on a-b is the same as b-a, so counting or testing can begin on
a-b without waiting for abs(a-b) to be determined.

   A loop stripping low zero bits tends not to branch predict well,
since the condition is data dependent.  But on average there's only a
few low zeros, so an option is to strip one or two bits arithmetically
then loop for more (as done for AMD K6).  Or use a lookup table to get a
count for several bits then loop for more (as done for AMD K7).  An
alternative approach is to keep just one of a or b odd and iterate

     a,b = abs(a-b), min(a,b)
     a = a/2 if even
     b = b/2 if even

   This requires about 1.25 iterations per bit, but stripping of a
single bit at each step avoids any branching.  Repeating the bit strip
reduces to about 0.9 iterations per bit, which may be a worthwhile
tradeoff.

   Generally with the above approaches a speed of perhaps 6 cycles per
bit can be achieved, which is still not terribly fast with for instance
a 64-bit GCD taking nearly 400 cycles.  It's this sort of time which
means it's not usually advantageous to combine a set of divisibility
tests into a GCD.

   Currently, the binary algorithm is used for GCD only when N < 3.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Lehmer's Algorithm,  Next: Subquadratic GCD,  Prev: Binary GCD,  Up: Greatest Common Divisor Algorithms

15.3.2 Lehmer's algorithm
-------------------------

Lehmer's improvement of the Euclidean algorithms is based on the
observation that the initial part of the quotient sequence depends only
on the most significant parts of the inputs.  The variant of Lehmer's
algorithm used in GMP splits off the most significant two limbs, as
suggested, e.g., in "A Double-Digit Lehmer-Euclid Algorithm" by Jebelean
(*note References::).  The quotients of two double-limb inputs are
collected as a 2 by 2 matrix with single-limb elements.  This is done by
the function 'mpn_hgcd2'.  The resulting matrix is applied to the inputs
using 'mpn_mul_1' and 'mpn_submul_1'.  Each iteration usually reduces
the inputs by almost one limb.  In the rare case of a large quotient, no
progress can be made by examining just the most significant two limbs,
and the quotient is computed using plain division.

   The resulting algorithm is asymptotically O(N^2), just as the
Euclidean algorithm and the binary algorithm.  The quadratic part of the
work are the calls to 'mpn_mul_1' and 'mpn_submul_1'.  For small sizes,
the linear work is also significant.  There are roughly N calls to the
'mpn_hgcd2' function.  This function uses a couple of important
optimizations:

   * It uses the same relaxed notion of correctness as 'mpn_hgcd' (see
     next section).  This means that when called with the most
     significant two limbs of two large numbers, the returned matrix
     does not always correspond exactly to the initial quotient sequence
     for the two large numbers; the final quotient may sometimes be one
     off.

   * It takes advantage of the fact the quotients are usually small.
     The division operator is not used, since the corresponding
     assembler instruction is very slow on most architectures.  (This
     code could probably be improved further, it uses many branches that
     are unfriendly to prediction).

   * It switches from double-limb calculations to single-limb
     calculations half-way through, when the input numbers have been
     reduced in size from two limbs to one and a half.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Subquadratic GCD,  Next: Extended GCD,  Prev: Lehmer's Algorithm,  Up: Greatest Common Divisor Algorithms

15.3.3 Subquadratic GCD
-----------------------

For inputs larger than 'GCD_DC_THRESHOLD', GCD is computed via the HGCD
(Half GCD) function, as a generalization to Lehmer's algorithm.

   Let the inputs a,b be of size N limbs each.  Put S = floor(N/2) + 1.
Then HGCD(a,b) returns a transformation matrix T with non-negative
elements, and reduced numbers (c;d) = T^{-1} (a;b).  The reduced numbers
c,d must be larger than S limbs, while their difference abs(c-d) must
fit in S limbs.  The matrix elements will also be of size roughly N/2.

   The HGCD base case uses Lehmer's algorithm, but with the above stop
condition that returns reduced numbers and the corresponding
transformation matrix half-way through.  For inputs larger than
'HGCD_THRESHOLD', HGCD is computed recursively, using the divide and
conquer algorithm in "On Schönhage's algorithm and subquadratic integer
GCD computation" by Möller (*note References::).  The recursive
algorithm consists of these main steps.

   * Call HGCD recursively, on the most significant N/2 limbs.  Apply
     the resulting matrix T_1 to the full numbers, reducing them to a
     size just above 3N/2.

   * Perform a small number of division or subtraction steps to reduce
     the numbers to size below 3N/2.  This is essential mainly for the
     unlikely case of large quotients.

   * Call HGCD recursively, on the most significant N/2 limbs of the
     reduced numbers.  Apply the resulting matrix T_2 to the full
     numbers, reducing them to a size just above N/2.

   * Compute T = T_1 T_2.

   * Perform a small number of division and subtraction steps to satisfy
     the requirements, and return.

   GCD is then implemented as a loop around HGCD, similarly to Lehmer's
algorithm.  Where Lehmer repeatedly chops off the top two limbs, calls
'mpn_hgcd2', and applies the resulting matrix to the full numbers, the
sub-quadratic GCD chops off the most significant third of the limbs (the
proportion is a tuning parameter, and 1/3 seems to be more efficient
than, e.g, 1/2), calls 'mpn_hgcd', and applies the resulting matrix.
Once the input numbers are reduced to size below 'GCD_DC_THRESHOLD',
Lehmer's algorithm is used for the rest of the work.

   The asymptotic running time of both HGCD and GCD is O(M(N)*log(N)),
where M(N) is the time for multiplying two N-limb numbers.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Extended GCD,  Next: Jacobi Symbol,  Prev: Subquadratic GCD,  Up: Greatest Common Divisor Algorithms

15.3.4 Extended GCD
-------------------

The extended GCD function, or GCDEXT, calculates gcd(a,b) and also
cofactors x and y satisfying a*x+b*y=gcd(a,b).  All the algorithms used
for plain GCD are extended to handle this case.  The binary algorithm is
used only for single-limb GCDEXT. Lehmer's algorithm is used for sizes
up to 'GCDEXT_DC_THRESHOLD'.  Above this threshold, GCDEXT is
implemented as a loop around HGCD, but with more book-keeping to keep
track of the cofactors.  This gives the same asymptotic running time as
for GCD and HGCD, O(M(N)*log(N))

   One difference to plain GCD is that while the inputs a and b are
reduced as the algorithm proceeds, the cofactors x and y grow in size.
This makes the tuning of the chopping-point more difficult.  The current
code chops off the most significant half of the inputs for the call to
HGCD in the first iteration, and the most significant two thirds for the
remaining calls.  This strategy could surely be improved.  Also the stop
condition for the loop, where Lehmer's algorithm is invoked once the
inputs are reduced below 'GCDEXT_DC_THRESHOLD', could maybe be improved
by taking into account the current size of the cofactors.

15.3.5 Jacobi Symbol
--------------------

[This section is obsolete.  The current Jacobi code actually uses a very
efficient algorithm.]

   'mpz_jacobi' and 'mpz_kronecker' are currently implemented with a
simple binary algorithm similar to that described for the GCDs (*note
Binary GCD::).  They're not very fast when both inputs are large.
Lehmer's multi-step improvement or a binary based multi-step algorithm
is likely to be better.

   When one operand fits a single limb, and that includes
'mpz_kronecker_ui' and friends, an initial reduction is done with either
'mpn_mod_1' or 'mpn_modexact_1_odd', followed by the binary algorithm on
a single limb.  The binary algorithm is well suited to a single limb,
and the whole calculation in this case is quite efficient.

   In all the routines sign changes for the result are accumulated using
some bit twiddling, avoiding table lookups or conditional jumps.

15.4.1 Normal Powering
----------------------

Normal 'mpz' or 'mpf' powering uses a simple binary algorithm,
successively squaring and then multiplying by the base when a 1 bit is
seen in the exponent, as per Knuth section 4.6.3.  The "left to right"
variant described there is used rather than algorithm A, since it's just
as easy and can be done with somewhat less temporary memory.

15.4.2 Modular Powering
-----------------------

Modular powering is implemented using a 2^k-ary sliding window
algorithm, as per "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" algorithm 14.85
(*note References::).  k is chosen according to the size of the
exponent.  Larger exponents use larger values of k, the choice being
made to minimize the average number of multiplications that must
supplement the squaring.

   The modular multiplies and squarings use either a simple division or
the REDC method by Montgomery (*note References::).  REDC is a little
faster, essentially saving N single limb divisions in a fashion similar
to an exact remainder (*note Exact Remainder::).

File: gmp.info,  Node: Square Root Algorithm,  Next: Nth Root Algorithm,  Prev: Root Extraction Algorithms,  Up: Root Extraction Algorithms

15.5.1 Square Root
------------------

Square roots are taken using the "Karatsuba Square Root" algorithm by
Paul Zimmermann (*note References::).

   An input n is split into four parts of k bits each, so with b=2^k we
have n = a3*b^3 + a2*b^2 + a1*b + a0.  Part a3 must be "normalized" so
that either the high or second highest bit is set.  In GMP, k is kept on
a limb boundary and the input is left shifted (by an even number of
bits) to normalize.

   The square root of the high two parts is taken, by recursive
application of the algorithm (bottoming out in a one-limb Newton's
method),

     s1,r1 = sqrtrem (a3*b + a2)

   This is an approximation to the desired root and is extended by a
division to give s,r,

     q,u = divrem (r1*b + a1, 2*s1)
     s = s1*b + q
     r = u*b + a0 - q^2

   The normalization requirement on a3 means at this point s is either
correct or 1 too big.  r is negative in the latter case, so

     if r < 0 then
       r = r + 2*s - 1
       s = s - 1

   The algorithm is expressed in a divide and conquer form, but as noted
in the paper it can also be viewed as a discrete variant of Newton's
method, or as a variation on the schoolboy method (no longer taught) for
square roots two digits at a time.

   If the remainder r is not required then usually only a few high limbs
of r and u need to be calculated to determine whether an adjustment to s
is required.  This optimization is not currently implemented.

   In the Karatsuba multiplication range this algorithm is
O(1.5*M(N/2)), where M(n) is the time to multiply two numbers of n
limbs.  In the FFT multiplication range this grows to a bound of
O(6*M(N/2)).  In practice a factor of about 1.5 to 1.8 is found in the
Karatsuba and Toom-3 ranges, growing to 2 or 3 in the FFT range.

   The algorithm does all its calculations in integers and the resulting
'mpn_sqrtrem' is used for both 'mpz_sqrt' and 'mpf_sqrt'.  The extended
precision given by 'mpf_sqrt_ui' is obtained by padding with zero limbs.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Nth Root Algorithm,  Next: Perfect Square Algorithm,  Prev: Square Root Algorithm,  Up: Root Extraction Algorithms

15.5.2 Nth Root
---------------

Integer Nth roots are taken using Newton's method with the following
iteration, where A is the input and n is the root to be taken.

              1         A
     a[i+1] = - * ( --------- + (n-1)*a[i] )
              n     a[i]^(n-1)

   The initial approximation a[1] is generated bitwise by successively
powering a trial root with or without new 1 bits, aiming to be just
above the true root.  The iteration converges quadratically when started
from a good approximation.  When n is large more initial bits are needed
to get good convergence.  The current implementation is not particularly
well optimized.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Perfect Square Algorithm,  Next: Perfect Power Algorithm,  Prev: Nth Root Algorithm,  Up: Root Extraction Algorithms

15.5.3 Perfect Square
---------------------

A significant fraction of non-squares can be quickly identified by
checking whether the input is a quadratic residue modulo small integers.

   'mpz_perfect_square_p' first tests the input mod 256, which means
just examining the low byte.  Only 44 different values occur for squares
mod 256, so 82.8% of inputs can be immediately identified as
non-squares.

   On a 32-bit system similar tests are done mod 9, 5, 7, 13 and 17, for
a total 99.25% of inputs identified as non-squares.  On a 64-bit system
97 is tested too, for a total 99.62%.

   These moduli are chosen because they're factors of 2^24-1 (or 2^48-1
for 64-bits), and such a remainder can be quickly taken just using
additions (see 'mpn_mod_34lsub1').

   When nails are in use moduli are instead selected by the 'gen-psqr.c'
program and applied with an 'mpn_mod_1'.  The same 2^24-1 or 2^48-1
could be done with nails using some extra bit shifts, but this is not
currently implemented.

   In any case each modulus is applied to the 'mpn_mod_34lsub1' or
'mpn_mod_1' remainder and a table lookup identifies non-squares.  By
using a "modexact" style calculation, and suitably permuted tables, just
one multiply each is required, see the code for details.  Moduli are
also combined to save operations, so long as the lookup tables don't
become too big.  'gen-psqr.c' does all the pre-calculations.

   A square root must still be taken for any value that passes these
tests, to verify it's really a square and not one of the small fraction
of non-squares that get through (i.e. a pseudo-square to all the tested
bases).

   Clearly more residue tests could be done, 'mpz_perfect_square_p' only
uses a compact and efficient set.  Big inputs would probably benefit
from more residue testing, small inputs might be better off with less.
The assumed distribution of squares versus non-squares in the input
would affect such considerations.

15.5.4 Perfect Power
--------------------

Detecting perfect powers is required by some factorization algorithms.
Currently 'mpz_perfect_power_p' is implemented using repeated Nth root
extractions, though naturally only prime roots need to be considered.
(*Note Nth Root Algorithm::.)

   If a prime divisor p with multiplicity e can be found, then only
roots which are divisors of e need to be considered, much reducing the
work necessary.  To this end divisibility by a set of small primes is
checked.

Radix conversions are less important than other algorithms.  A program
dominated by conversions should probably use a different data
representation.

15.6.1 Binary to Radix
----------------------

Conversions from binary to a power-of-2 radix use a simple and fast O(N)
bit extraction algorithm.

   Conversions from binary to other radices use one of two algorithms.
Sizes below 'GET_STR_PRECOMPUTE_THRESHOLD' use a basic O(N^2) method.
Repeated divisions by b^n are made, where b is the radix and n is the
biggest power that fits in a limb.  But instead of simply using the
remainder r from such divisions, an extra divide step is done to give a
fractional limb representing r/b^n.  The digits of r can then be
extracted using multiplications by b rather than divisions.  Special
case code is provided for decimal, allowing multiplications by 10 to
optimize to shifts and adds.

   Above 'GET_STR_PRECOMPUTE_THRESHOLD' a sub-quadratic algorithm is
used.  For an input t, powers b^(n*2^i) of the radix are calculated,
until a power between t and sqrt(t) is reached.  t is then divided by
that largest power, giving a quotient which is the digits above that
power, and a remainder which is those below.  These two parts are in
turn divided by the second highest power, and so on recursively.  When a
piece has been divided down to less than 'GET_STR_DC_THRESHOLD' limbs,
the basecase algorithm described above is used.

   The advantage of this algorithm is that big divisions can make use of
the sub-quadratic divide and conquer division (*note Divide and Conquer
Division::), and big divisions tend to have less overheads than lots of
separate single limb divisions anyway.  But in any case the cost of
calculating the powers b^(n*2^i) must first be overcome.

   'GET_STR_PRECOMPUTE_THRESHOLD' and 'GET_STR_DC_THRESHOLD' represent
the same basic thing, the point where it becomes worth doing a big
division to cut the input in half.  'GET_STR_PRECOMPUTE_THRESHOLD'
includes the cost of calculating the radix power required, whereas
'GET_STR_DC_THRESHOLD' assumes that's already available, which is the
case when recursing.

   Since the base case produces digits from least to most significant
but they want to be stored from most to least, it's necessary to
calculate in advance how many digits there will be, or at least be sure
not to underestimate that.  For GMP the number of input bits is
multiplied by 'chars_per_bit_exactly' from 'mp_bases', rounding up.  The
result is either correct or one too big.

   Examining some of the high bits of the input could increase the
chance of getting the exact number of digits, but an exact result every
time would not be practical, since in general the difference between
numbers 100... and 99... is only in the last few bits and the work to
identify 99... might well be almost as much as a full conversion.

   The r/b^n scheme described above for using multiplications to bring
out digits might be useful for more than a single limb.  Some brief
experiments with it on the base case when recursing didn't give a
noticeable improvement, but perhaps that was only due to the
implementation.  Something similar would work for the sub-quadratic
divisions too, though there would be the cost of calculating a bigger
radix power.

   Another possible improvement for the sub-quadratic part would be to
arrange for radix powers that balanced the sizes of quotient and
remainder produced, i.e. the highest power would be an b^(n*k)
approximately equal to sqrt(t), not restricted to a 2^i factor.  That
ought to smooth out a graph of times against sizes, but may or may not
be a net speedup.

15.6.2 Radix to Binary
----------------------

*This section needs to be rewritten, it currently describes the
algorithms used before GMP 4.3.*

   Conversions from a power-of-2 radix into binary use a simple and fast
O(N) bitwise concatenation algorithm.

   Conversions from other radices use one of two algorithms.  Sizes
below 'SET_STR_PRECOMPUTE_THRESHOLD' use a basic O(N^2) method.  Groups
of n digits are converted to limbs, where n is the biggest power of the
base b which will fit in a limb, then those groups are accumulated into
the result by multiplying by b^n and adding.  This saves multi-precision
operations, as per Knuth section 4.4 part E (*note References::).  Some
special case code is provided for decimal, giving the compiler a chance
to optimize multiplications by 10.

   Above 'SET_STR_PRECOMPUTE_THRESHOLD' a sub-quadratic algorithm is
used.  First groups of n digits are converted into limbs.  Then adjacent
limbs are combined into limb pairs with x*b^n+y, where x and y are the
limbs.  Adjacent limb pairs are combined into quads similarly with
x*b^(2n)+y.  This continues until a single block remains, that being the
result.

   The advantage of this method is that the multiplications for each x
are big blocks, allowing Karatsuba and higher algorithms to be used.
But the cost of calculating the powers b^(n*2^i) must be overcome.
'SET_STR_PRECOMPUTE_THRESHOLD' usually ends up quite big, around 5000
digits, and on some processors much bigger still.

   'SET_STR_PRECOMPUTE_THRESHOLD' is based on the input digits (and
tuned for decimal), though it might be better based on a limb count, so
as to be independent of the base.  But that sort of count isn't used by
the base case and so would need some sort of initial calculation or
estimate.

   The main reason 'SET_STR_PRECOMPUTE_THRESHOLD' is so much bigger than
the corresponding 'GET_STR_PRECOMPUTE_THRESHOLD' is that 'mpn_mul_1' is
much faster than 'mpn_divrem_1' (often by a factor of 5, or more).

15.7.1 Prime Testing
--------------------

The primality testing in 'mpz_probab_prime_p' (*note Number Theoretic
Functions::) first does some trial division by small factors and then
uses the Miller-Rabin probabilistic primality testing algorithm, as
described in Knuth section 4.5.4 algorithm P (*note References::).

   For an odd input n, and with n = q*2^k+1 where q is odd, this
algorithm selects a random base x and tests whether x^q mod n is 1 or
-1, or an x^(q*2^j) mod n is 1, for 1<=j<=k.  If so then n is probably
prime, if not then n is definitely composite.

   Any prime n will pass the test, but some composites do too.  Such
composites are known as strong pseudoprimes to base x.  No n is a strong
pseudoprime to more than 1/4 of all bases (see Knuth exercise 22), hence
with x chosen at random there's no more than a 1/4 chance a "probable
prime" will in fact be composite.

   In fact strong pseudoprimes are quite rare, making the test much more
powerful than this analysis would suggest, but 1/4 is all that's proven
for an arbitrary n.

15.7.2 Factorial
----------------

Factorials are calculated by a combination of two algorithms.  An idea
is shared among them: to compute the odd part of the factorial; a final
step takes account of the power of 2 term, by shifting.

   For small n, the odd factor of n! is computed with the simple
observation that it is equal to the product of all positive odd numbers
smaller than n times the odd factor of [n/2]!, where [x] is the integer
part of x, and so on recursively.  The procedure can be best illustrated
with an example,

     23! = (23.21.19.17.15.13.11.9.7.5.3)(11.9.7.5.3)(5.3)2^{19}

   Current code collects all the factors in a single list, with a loop
and no recursion, and compute the product, with no special care for
repeated chunks.

   When n is larger, computation pass trough prime sieving.  An helper
function is used, as suggested by Peter Luschny:

                                 n
                               -----
                    n!          | |   L(p,n)
     msf(n) = -------------- =  | |  p
               [n/2]!^2.2^k     p=3

   Where p ranges on odd prime numbers.  The exponent k is chosen to
obtain an odd integer number: k is the number of 1 bits in the binary
representation of [n/2].  The function L(p,n) can be defined as zero
when p is composite, and, for any prime p, it is computed with:

               ---
                \    n
     L(p,n) =   /  [---] mod 2   <=  log (n) .
               ---  p^i                p
               i>0

   With this helper function, we are able to compute the odd part of n!
using the recursion implied by n!=[n/2]!^2*msf(n)*2^k.  The recursion
stops using the small-n algorithm on some [n/2^i].

   Both the above algorithms use binary splitting to compute the product
of many small factors.  At first as many products as possible are
accumulated in a single register, generating a list of factors that fit
in a machine word.  This list is then split into halves, and the product
is computed recursively.

   Such splitting is more efficient than repeated Nx1 multiplies since
it forms big multiplies, allowing Karatsuba and higher algorithms to be
used.  And even below the Karatsuba threshold a big block of work can be
more efficient for the basecase algorithm.

15.7.3 Binomial Coefficients
----------------------------

Binomial coefficients C(n,k) are calculated by first arranging k <= n/2
using C(n,k) = C(n,n-k) if necessary, and then evaluating the following
product simply from i=2 to i=k.

                           k  (n-k+i)
     C(n,k) =  (n-k+1) * prod -------
                          i=2    i

   It's easy to show that each denominator i will divide the product so
far, so the exact division algorithm is used (*note Exact Division::).

   The numerators n-k+i and denominators i are first accumulated into as
many fit a limb, to save multi-precision operations, though for
'mpz_bin_ui' this applies only to the divisors, since n is an 'mpz_t'
and n-k+i in general won't fit in a limb at all.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Fibonacci Numbers Algorithm,  Next: Lucas Numbers Algorithm,  Prev: Binomial Coefficients Algorithm,  Up: Other Algorithms

15.7.4 Fibonacci Numbers
------------------------

The Fibonacci functions 'mpz_fib_ui' and 'mpz_fib2_ui' are designed for
calculating isolated F[n] or F[n],F[n-1] values efficiently.

   For small n, a table of single limb values in '__gmp_fib_table' is
used.  On a 32-bit limb this goes up to F[47], or on a 64-bit limb up to
F[93].  For convenience the table starts at F[-1].

   Beyond the table, values are generated with a binary powering
algorithm, calculating a pair F[n] and F[n-1] working from high to low
across the bits of n.  The formulas used are

     F[2k+1] = 4*F[k]^2 - F[k-1]^2 + 2*(-1)^k
     F[2k-1] =   F[k]^2 + F[k-1]^2

     F[2k] = F[2k+1] - F[2k-1]

   At each step, k is the high b bits of n.  If the next bit of n is 0
then F[2k],F[2k-1] is used, or if it's a 1 then F[2k+1],F[2k] is used,
and the process repeated until all bits of n are incorporated.  Notice
these formulas require just two squares per bit of n.

   It'd be possible to handle the first few n above the single limb
table with simple additions, using the defining Fibonacci recurrence
F[k+1]=F[k]+F[k-1], but this is not done since it usually turns out to
be faster for only about 10 or 20 values of n, and including a block of
code for just those doesn't seem worthwhile.  If they really mattered
it'd be better to extend the data table.

   Using a table avoids lots of calculations on small numbers, and makes
small n go fast.  A bigger table would make more small n go fast, it's
just a question of balancing size against desired speed.  For GMP the
code is kept compact, with the emphasis primarily on a good powering
algorithm.

   'mpz_fib2_ui' returns both F[n] and F[n-1], but 'mpz_fib_ui' is only
interested in F[n].  In this case the last step of the algorithm can
become one multiply instead of two squares.  One of the following two
formulas is used, according as n is odd or even.

     F[2k]   = F[k]*(F[k]+2F[k-1])

     F[2k+1] = (2F[k]+F[k-1])*(2F[k]-F[k-1]) + 2*(-1)^k

   F[2k+1] here is the same as above, just rearranged to be a multiply.
For interest, the 2*(-1)^k term both here and above can be applied just
to the low limb of the calculation, without a carry or borrow into
further limbs, which saves some code size.  See comments with
'mpz_fib_ui' and the internal 'mpn_fib2_ui' for how this is done.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Lucas Numbers Algorithm,  Next: Random Number Algorithms,  Prev: Fibonacci Numbers Algorithm,  Up: Other Algorithms

15.7.5 Lucas Numbers
--------------------

'mpz_lucnum2_ui' derives a pair of Lucas numbers from a pair of
Fibonacci numbers with the following simple formulas.

     L[k]   =   F[k] + 2*F[k-1]
     L[k-1] = 2*F[k] -   F[k-1]

   'mpz_lucnum_ui' is only interested in L[n], and some work can be
saved.  Trailing zero bits on n can be handled with a single square
each.

     L[2k] = L[k]^2 - 2*(-1)^k

   And the lowest 1 bit can be handled with one multiply of a pair of
Fibonacci numbers, similar to what 'mpz_fib_ui' does.

     L[2k+1] = 5*F[k-1]*(2*F[k]+F[k-1]) - 4*(-1)^k


File: gmp.info,  Node: Random Number Algorithms,  Prev: Lucas Numbers Algorithm,  Up: Other Algorithms

15.7.6 Random Numbers
---------------------

For the 'urandomb' functions, random numbers are generated simply by
concatenating bits produced by the generator.  As long as the generator
has good randomness properties this will produce well-distributed N bit
numbers.

   For the 'urandomm' functions, random numbers in a range 0<=R<N are
generated by taking values R of ceil(log2(N)) bits each until one
satisfies R<N. This will normally require only one or two attempts, but
the attempts are limited in case the generator is somehow degenerate and
produces only 1 bits or similar.

   The Mersenne Twister generator is by Matsumoto and Nishimura (*note
References::).  It has a non-repeating period of 2^19937-1, which is a
Mersenne prime, hence the name of the generator.  The state is 624 words
of 32-bits each, which is iterated with one XOR and shift for each
32-bit word generated, making the algorithm very fast.  Randomness
properties are also very good and this is the default algorithm used by
GMP.

   Linear congruential generators are described in many text books, for
instance Knuth volume 2 (*note References::).  With a modulus M and
parameters A and C, an integer state S is iterated by the formula S <-
A*S+C mod M. At each step the new state is a linear function of the
previous, mod M, hence the name of the generator.

   In GMP only moduli of the form 2^N are supported, and the current
implementation is not as well optimized as it could be.  Overheads are
significant when N is small, and when N is large clearly the multiply at
each step will become slow.  This is not a big concern, since the
Mersenne Twister generator is better in every respect and is therefore
recommended for all normal applications.

   For both generators the current state can be deduced by observing
enough output and applying some linear algebra (over GF(2) in the case
of the Mersenne Twister).  This generally means raw output is unsuitable
for cryptographic applications without further hashing or the like.

15.8 Assembly Coding
====================

The assembly subroutines in GMP are the most significant source of speed
at small to moderate sizes.  At larger sizes algorithm selection becomes
more important, but of course speedups in low level routines will still
speed up everything proportionally.

   Carry handling and widening multiplies that are important for GMP
can't be easily expressed in C.  GCC 'asm' blocks help a lot and are
provided in 'longlong.h', but hand coding low level routines invariably
offers a speedup over generic C by a factor of anything from 2 to 10.

15.8.1 Code Organisation
------------------------

The various 'mpn' subdirectories contain machine-dependent code, written
in C or assembly.  The 'mpn/generic' subdirectory contains default code,
used when there's no machine-specific version of a particular file.

   Each 'mpn' subdirectory is for an ISA family.  Generally 32-bit and
64-bit variants in a family cannot share code and have separate
directories.  Within a family further subdirectories may exist for CPU
variants.

   In each directory a 'nails' subdirectory may exist, holding code with
nails support for that CPU variant.  A 'NAILS_SUPPORT' directive in each
file indicates the nails values the code handles.  Nails code only
exists where it's faster, or promises to be faster, than plain code.
There's no effort put into nails if they're not going to enhance a given
CPU.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Assembly Basics,  Next: Assembly Carry Propagation,  Prev: Assembly Code Organisation,  Up: Assembly Coding

15.8.2 Assembly Basics
----------------------

'mpn_addmul_1' and 'mpn_submul_1' are the most important routines for
overall GMP performance.  All multiplications and divisions come down to
repeated calls to these.  'mpn_add_n', 'mpn_sub_n', 'mpn_lshift' and
'mpn_rshift' are next most important.

   On some CPUs assembly versions of the internal functions
'mpn_mul_basecase' and 'mpn_sqr_basecase' give significant speedups,
mainly through avoiding function call overheads.  They can also
potentially make better use of a wide superscalar processor, as can
bigger primitives like 'mpn_addmul_2' or 'mpn_addmul_4'.

   The restrictions on overlaps between sources and destinations (*note
Low-level Functions::) are designed to facilitate a variety of
implementations.  For example, knowing 'mpn_add_n' won't have partly
overlapping sources and destination means reading can be done far ahead
of writing on superscalar processors, and loops can be vectorized on a
vector processor, depending on the carry handling.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Assembly Carry Propagation,  Next: Assembly Cache Handling,  Prev: Assembly Basics,  Up: Assembly Coding

15.8.3 Carry Propagation
------------------------

The problem that presents most challenges in GMP is propagating carries
from one limb to the next.  In functions like 'mpn_addmul_1' and
'mpn_add_n', carries are the only dependencies between limb operations.

   On processors with carry flags, a straightforward CISC style 'adc' is
generally best.  AMD K6 'mpn_addmul_1' however is an example of an
unusual set of circumstances where a branch works out better.

   On RISC processors generally an add and compare for overflow is used.
This sort of thing can be seen in 'mpn/generic/aors_n.c'.  Some carry
propagation schemes require 4 instructions, meaning at least 4 cycles
per limb, but other schemes may use just 1 or 2.  On wide superscalar
processors performance may be completely determined by the number of
dependent instructions between carry-in and carry-out for each limb.

   On vector processors good use can be made of the fact that a carry
bit only very rarely propagates more than one limb.  When adding a
single bit to a limb, there's only a carry out if that limb was
'0xFF...FF' which on random data will be only 1 in 2^mp_bits_per_limb.
'mpn/cray/add_n.c' is an example of this, it adds all limbs in parallel,
adds one set of carry bits in parallel and then only rarely needs to
fall through to a loop propagating further carries.

   On the x86s, GCC (as of version 2.95.2) doesn't generate particularly
good code for the RISC style idioms that are necessary to handle carry
bits in C.  Often conditional jumps are generated where 'adc' or 'sbb'
forms would be better.  And so unfortunately almost any loop involving
carry bits needs to be coded in assembly for best results.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Assembly Cache Handling,  Next: Assembly Functional Units,  Prev: Assembly Carry Propagation,  Up: Assembly Coding

15.8.4 Cache Handling
---------------------

GMP aims to perform well both on operands that fit entirely in L1 cache
and those which don't.

   Basic routines like 'mpn_add_n' or 'mpn_lshift' are often used on
large operands, so L2 and main memory performance is important for them.
'mpn_mul_1' and 'mpn_addmul_1' are mostly used for multiply and square
basecases, so L1 performance matters most for them, unless assembly
versions of 'mpn_mul_basecase' and 'mpn_sqr_basecase' exist, in which
case the remaining uses are mostly for larger operands.

   For L2 or main memory operands, memory access times will almost
certainly be more than the calculation time.  The aim therefore is to
maximize memory throughput, by starting a load of the next cache line
while processing the contents of the previous one.  Clearly this is only
possible if the chip has a lock-up free cache or some sort of prefetch
instruction.  Most current chips have both these features.

   Prefetching sources combines well with loop unrolling, since a
prefetch can be initiated once per unrolled loop (or more than once if
the loop covers more than one cache line).

   On CPUs without write-allocate caches, prefetching destinations will
ensure individual stores don't go further down the cache hierarchy,
limiting bandwidth.  Of course for calculations which are slow anyway,
like 'mpn_divrem_1', write-throughs might be fine.

   The distance ahead to prefetch will be determined by memory latency
versus throughput.  The aim of course is to have data arriving
continuously, at peak throughput.  Some CPUs have limits on the number
of fetches or prefetches in progress.

   If a special prefetch instruction doesn't exist then a plain load can
be used, but in that case care must be taken not to attempt to read past
the end of an operand, since that might produce a segmentation
violation.

   Some CPUs or systems have hardware that detects sequential memory
accesses and initiates suitable cache movements automatically, making
life easy.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Assembly Functional Units,  Next: Assembly Floating Point,  Prev: Assembly Cache Handling,  Up: Assembly Coding

15.8.5 Functional Units
-----------------------

When choosing an approach for an assembly loop, consideration is given
to what operations can execute simultaneously and what throughput can
thereby be achieved.  In some cases an algorithm can be tweaked to
accommodate available resources.

   Loop control will generally require a counter and pointer updates,
costing as much as 5 instructions, plus any delays a branch introduces.
CPU addressing modes might reduce pointer updates, perhaps by allowing
just one updating pointer and others expressed as offsets from it, or on
CISC chips with all addressing done with the loop counter as a scaled
index.

   The final loop control cost can be amortised by processing several
limbs in each iteration (*note Assembly Loop Unrolling::).  This at
least ensures loop control isn't a big fraction the work done.

   Memory throughput is always a limit.  If perhaps only one load or one
store can be done per cycle then 3 cycles/limb will the top speed for
"binary" operations like 'mpn_add_n', and any code achieving that is
optimal.

   Integer resources can be freed up by having the loop counter in a
float register, or by pressing the float units into use for some
multiplying, perhaps doing every second limb on the float side (*note
Assembly Floating Point::).

   Float resources can be freed up by doing carry propagation on the
integer side, or even by doing integer to float conversions in integers
using bit twiddling.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Assembly Floating Point,  Next: Assembly SIMD Instructions,  Prev: Assembly Functional Units,  Up: Assembly Coding

15.8.6 Floating Point
---------------------

Floating point arithmetic is used in GMP for multiplications on CPUs
with poor integer multipliers.  It's mostly useful for 'mpn_mul_1',
'mpn_addmul_1' and 'mpn_submul_1' on 64-bit machines, and
'mpn_mul_basecase' on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines.

   With IEEE 53-bit double precision floats, integer multiplications
producing up to 53 bits will give exact results.  Breaking a 64x64
multiplication into eight 16x32->48 bit pieces is convenient.  With some
care though six 21x32->53 bit products can be used, if one of the lower
two 21-bit pieces also uses the sign bit.

   For the 'mpn_mul_1' family of functions on a 64-bit machine, the
invariant single limb is split at the start, into 3 or 4 pieces.  Inside
the loop, the bignum operand is split into 32-bit pieces.  Fast
conversion of these unsigned 32-bit pieces to floating point is highly
machine-dependent.  In some cases, reading the data into the integer
unit, zero-extending to 64-bits, then transferring to the floating point
unit back via memory is the only option.

   Converting partial products back to 64-bit limbs is usually best done
as a signed conversion.  Since all values are smaller than 2^53, signed
and unsigned are the same, but most processors lack unsigned
conversions.



   Here is a diagram showing 16x32 bit products for an 'mpn_mul_1' or
'mpn_addmul_1' with a 64-bit limb.  The single limb operand V is split
into four 16-bit parts.  The multi-limb operand U is split in the loop
into two 32-bit parts.

                     +---+---+---+---+
                     |v48|v32|v16|v00|    V operand
                     +---+---+---+---+

                     +-------+---+---+
                 x   |  u32  |  u00  |    U operand (one limb)
                     +---------------+

     ---------------------------------

                         +-----------+
                         | u00 x v00 |    p00    48-bit products
                         +-----------+
                     +-----------+
                     | u00 x v16 |        p16
                     +-----------+
                 +-----------+
                 | u00 x v32 |            p32
                 +-----------+
             +-----------+
             | u00 x v48 |                p48
             +-----------+
                 +-----------+
                 | u32 x v00 |            r32
                 +-----------+
             +-----------+
             | u32 x v16 |                r48
             +-----------+
         +-----------+
         | u32 x v32 |                    r64
         +-----------+
     +-----------+
     | u32 x v48 |                        r80
     +-----------+

   p32 and r32 can be summed using floating-point addition, and likewise
p48 and r48.  p00 and p16 can be summed with r64 and r80 from the
previous iteration.

   For each loop then, four 49-bit quantities are transferred to the
integer unit, aligned as follows,

     |-----64bits----|-----64bits----|
                        +------------+
                        | p00 + r64' |    i00
                        +------------+
                    +------------+
                    | p16 + r80' |        i16
                    +------------+
                +------------+
                | p32 + r32  |            i32
                +------------+
            +------------+
            | p48 + r48  |                i48
            +------------+

   The challenge then is to sum these efficiently and add in a carry
limb, generating a low 64-bit result limb and a high 33-bit carry limb
(i48 extends 33 bits into the high half).

15.8.7 SIMD Instructions
------------------------

The single-instruction multiple-data support in current microprocessors
is aimed at signal processing algorithms where each data point can be
treated more or less independently.  There's generally not much support
for propagating the sort of carries that arise in GMP.

   SIMD multiplications of say four 16x16 bit multiplies only do as much
work as one 32x32 from GMP's point of view, and need some shifts and
adds besides.  But of course if say the SIMD form is fully pipelined and
uses less instruction decoding then it may still be worthwhile.

   On the x86 chips, MMX has so far found a use in 'mpn_rshift' and
'mpn_lshift', and is used in a special case for 16-bit multipliers in
the P55 'mpn_mul_1'.  SSE2 is used for Pentium 4 'mpn_mul_1',
'mpn_addmul_1', and 'mpn_submul_1'.


File: gmp.info,  Node: Assembly Software Pipelining,  Next: Assembly Loop Unrolling,  Prev: Assembly SIMD Instructions,  Up: Assembly Coding

15.8.8 Software Pipelining
--------------------------

Software pipelining consists of scheduling instructions around the
branch point in a loop.  For example a loop might issue a load not for
use in the present iteration but the next, thereby allowing extra cycles
for the data to arrive from memory.

   Naturally this is wanted only when doing things like loads or
multiplies that take several cycles to complete, and only where a CPU
has multiple functional units so that other work can be done in the
meantime.

   A pipeline with several stages will have a data value in progress at
each stage and each loop iteration moves them along one stage.  This is
like juggling.

   If the latency of some instruction is greater than the loop time then
it will be necessary to unroll, so one register has a result ready to
use while another (or multiple others) are still in progress.  (*note
Assembly Loop Unrolling::).

15.8.9 Loop Unrolling
---------------------

Loop unrolling consists of replicating code so that several limbs are
processed in each loop.  At a minimum this reduces loop overheads by a
corresponding factor, but it can also allow better register usage, for
example alternately using one register combination and then another.
Judicious use of 'm4' macros can help avoid lots of duplication in the
source code.

   Any amount of unrolling can be handled with a loop counter that's
decremented by N each time, stopping when the remaining count is less
than the further N the loop will process.  Or by subtracting N at the
start, the termination condition becomes when the counter C is less than
0 (and the count of remaining limbs is C+N).

   Alternately for a power of 2 unroll the loop count and remainder can
be established with a shift and mask.  This is convenient if also making
a computed jump into the middle of a large loop.

   The limbs not a multiple of the unrolling can be handled in various
ways, for example

   * A simple loop at the end (or the start) to process the excess.
     Care will be wanted that it isn't too much slower than the unrolled
     part.

   * A set of binary tests, for example after an 8-limb unrolling, test
     for 4 more limbs to process, then a further 2 more or not, and
     finally 1 more or not.  This will probably take more code space
     than a simple loop.

   * A 'switch' statement, providing separate code for each possible
     excess, for example an 8-limb unrolling would have separate code
     for 0 remaining, 1 remaining, etc, up to 7 remaining.  This might
     take a lot of code, but may be the best way to optimize all cases
     in combination with a deep pipelined loop.

   * A computed jump into the middle of the loop, thus making the first
     iteration handle the excess.  This should make times smoothly
     increase with size, which is attractive, but setups for the jump
     and adjustments for pointers can be tricky and could become quite
     difficult in combination with deep pipelining.

15.8.10 Writing Guide
---------------------

This is a guide to writing software pipelined loops for processing limb
vectors in assembly.

   First determine the algorithm and which instructions are needed.
Code it without unrolling or scheduling, to make sure it works.  On a
3-operand CPU try to write each new value to a new register, this will
greatly simplify later steps.

   Then note for each instruction the functional unit and/or issue port
requirements.  If an instruction can use either of two units, like U0 or
U1 then make a category "U0/U1".  Count the total using each unit (or
combined unit), and count all instructions.

   Figure out from those counts the best possible loop time.  The goal
will be to find a perfect schedule where instruction latencies are
completely hidden.  The total instruction count might be the limiting
factor, or perhaps a particular functional unit.  It might be possible
to tweak the instructions to help the limiting factor.

   Suppose the loop time is N, then make N issue buckets, with the final
loop branch at the end of the last.  Now fill the buckets with dummy
instructions using the functional units desired.  Run this to make sure
the intended speed is reached.

   Now replace the dummy instructions with the real instructions from
the slow but correct loop you started with.  The first will typically be
a load instruction.  Then the instruction using that value is placed in
a bucket an appropriate distance down.  Run the loop again, to check it
still runs at target speed.

   Keep placing instructions, frequently measuring the loop.  After a
few you will need to wrap around from the last bucket back to the top of
the loop.  If you used the new-register for new-value strategy above
then there will be no register conflicts.  If not then take care not to
clobber something already in use.  Changing registers at this time is
very error prone.

   The loop will overlap two or more of the original loop iterations,
and the computation of one vector element result will be started in one
iteration of the new loop, and completed one or several iterations
later.

   The final step is to create feed-in and wind-down code for the loop.
A good way to do this is to make a copy (or copies) of the loop at the
start and delete those instructions which don't have valid antecedents,
and at the end replicate and delete those whose results are unwanted
(including any further loads).

   The loop will have a minimum number of limbs loaded and processed, so
the feed-in code must test if the request size is smaller and skip
either to a suitable part of the wind-down or to special code for small
sizes.

16.1 Integer Internals
======================

'mpz_t' variables represent integers using sign and magnitude, in space
dynamically allocated and reallocated.  The fields are as follows.

'_mp_size'
     The number of limbs, or the negative of that when representing a
     negative integer.  Zero is represented by '_mp_size' set to zero,
     in which case the '_mp_d' data is unused.

'_mp_d'
     A pointer to an array of limbs which is the magnitude.  These are
     stored "little endian" as per the 'mpn' functions, so '_mp_d[0]' is
     the least significant limb and '_mp_d[ABS(_mp_size)-1]' is the most
     significant.  Whenever '_mp_size' is non-zero, the most significant
     limb is non-zero.

     Currently there's always at least one limb allocated, so for
     instance 'mpz_set_ui' never needs to reallocate, and 'mpz_get_ui'
     can fetch '_mp_d[0]' unconditionally (though its value is then only
     wanted if '_mp_size' is non-zero).

'_mp_alloc'
     '_mp_alloc' is the number of limbs currently allocated at '_mp_d',
     and naturally '_mp_alloc >= ABS(_mp_size)'.  When an 'mpz' routine
     is about to (or might be about to) increase '_mp_size', it checks
     '_mp_alloc' to see whether there's enough space, and reallocates if
     not.  'MPZ_REALLOC' is generally used for this.

   The various bitwise logical functions like 'mpz_and' behave as if
negative values were twos complement.  But sign and magnitude is always
used internally, and necessary adjustments are made during the
calculations.  Sometimes this isn't pretty, but sign and magnitude are
best for other routines.

   Some internal temporary variables are setup with 'MPZ_TMP_INIT' and
these have '_mp_d' space obtained from 'TMP_ALLOC' rather than the
memory allocation functions.  Care is taken to ensure that these are big
enough that no reallocation is necessary (since it would have
unpredictable consequences).

   '_mp_size' and '_mp_alloc' are 'int', although 'mp_size_t' is usually
a 'long'.  This is done to make the fields just 32 bits on some 64 bits
systems, thereby saving a few bytes of data space but still providing
plenty of range.

16.2 Rational Internals
=======================

'mpq_t' variables represent rationals using an 'mpz_t' numerator and
denominator (*note Integer Internals::).

   The canonical form adopted is denominator positive (and non-zero), no
common factors between numerator and denominator, and zero uniquely
represented as 0/1.

   It's believed that casting out common factors at each stage of a
calculation is best in general.  A GCD is an O(N^2) operation so it's
better to do a few small ones immediately than to delay and have to do a
big one later.  Knowing the numerator and denominator have no common
factors can be used for example in 'mpq_mul' to make only two cross GCDs
necessary, not four.

   This general approach to common factors is badly sub-optimal in the
presence of simple factorizations or little prospect for cancellation,
but GMP has no way to know when this will occur.  As per *note
Efficiency::, that's left to applications.  The 'mpq_t' framework might
still suit, with 'mpq_numref' and 'mpq_denref' for direct access to the
numerator and denominator, or of course 'mpz_t' variables can be used
directly.

16.3 Float Internals
====================

Efficient calculation is the primary aim of GMP floats and the use of
whole limbs and simple rounding facilitates this.

   'mpf_t' floats have a variable precision mantissa and a single
machine word signed exponent.  The mantissa is represented using sign
and magnitude.

        most                   least
     significant            significant
        limb                   limb

                                 _mp_d
      |---- _mp_exp --->           |
       _____ _____ _____ _____ _____
      |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|
                        . <------------ radix point

       <-------- _mp_size --------->


The fields are as follows.

'_mp_size'
     The number of limbs currently in use, or the negative of that when
     representing a negative value.  Zero is represented by '_mp_size'
     and '_mp_exp' both set to zero, and in that case the '_mp_d' data
     is unused.  (In the future '_mp_exp' might be undefined when
     representing zero.)

'_mp_prec'
     The precision of the mantissa, in limbs.  In any calculation the
     aim is to produce '_mp_prec' limbs of result (the most significant
     being non-zero).

'_mp_d'
     A pointer to the array of limbs which is the absolute value of the
     mantissa.  These are stored "little endian" as per the 'mpn'
     functions, so '_mp_d[0]' is the least significant limb and
     '_mp_d[ABS(_mp_size)-1]' the most significant.

     The most significant limb is always non-zero, but there are no
     other restrictions on its value, in particular the highest 1 bit
     can be anywhere within the limb.

     '_mp_prec+1' limbs are allocated to '_mp_d', the extra limb being
     for convenience (see below).  There are no reallocations during a
     calculation, only in a change of precision with 'mpf_set_prec'.

'_mp_exp'
     The exponent, in limbs, determining the location of the implied
     radix point.  Zero means the radix point is just above the most
     significant limb.  Positive values mean a radix point offset
     towards the lower limbs and hence a value >= 1, as for example in
     the diagram above.  Negative exponents mean a radix point further
     above the highest limb.

     Naturally the exponent can be any value, it doesn't have to fall
     within the limbs as the diagram shows, it can be a long way above
     or a long way below.  Limbs other than those included in the
     '{_mp_d,_mp_size}' data are treated as zero.

   The '_mp_size' and '_mp_prec' fields are 'int', although the
'mp_size_t' type is usually a 'long'.  The '_mp_exp' field is usually
'long'.  This is done to make some fields just 32 bits on some 64 bits
systems, thereby saving a few bytes of data space but still providing
plenty of precision and a very large range.


The following various points should be noted.

Low Zeros
     The least significant limbs '_mp_d[0]' etc can be zero, though such
     low zeros can always be ignored.  Routines likely to produce low
     zeros check and avoid them to save time in subsequent calculations,
     but for most routines they're quite unlikely and aren't checked.

Mantissa Size Range
     The '_mp_size' count of limbs in use can be less than '_mp_prec' if
     the value can be represented in less.  This means low precision
     values or small integers stored in a high precision 'mpf_t' can
     still be operated on efficiently.

     '_mp_size' can also be greater than '_mp_prec'.  Firstly a value is
     allowed to use all of the '_mp_prec+1' limbs available at '_mp_d',
     and secondly when 'mpf_set_prec_raw' lowers '_mp_prec' it leaves
     '_mp_size' unchanged and so the size can be arbitrarily bigger than
     '_mp_prec'.

Rounding
     All rounding is done on limb boundaries.  Calculating '_mp_prec'
     limbs with the high non-zero will ensure the application requested
     minimum precision is obtained.

     The use of simple "trunc" rounding towards zero is efficient, since
     there's no need to examine extra limbs and increment or decrement.

Bit Shifts
     Since the exponent is in limbs, there are no bit shifts in basic
     operations like 'mpf_add' and 'mpf_mul'.  When differing exponents
     are encountered all that's needed is to adjust pointers to line up
     the relevant limbs.

     Of course 'mpf_mul_2exp' and 'mpf_div_2exp' will require bit
     shifts, but the choice is between an exponent in limbs which
     requires shifts there, or one in bits which requires them almost
     everywhere else.

Use of '_mp_prec+1' Limbs
     The extra limb on '_mp_d' ('_mp_prec+1' rather than just
     '_mp_prec') helps when an 'mpf' routine might get a carry from its
     operation.  'mpf_add' for instance will do an 'mpn_add' of
     '_mp_prec' limbs.  If there's no carry then that's the result, but
     if there is a carry then it's stored in the extra limb of space and
     '_mp_size' becomes '_mp_prec+1'.

     Whenever '_mp_prec+1' limbs are held in a variable, the low limb is
     not needed for the intended precision, only the '_mp_prec' high
     limbs.  But zeroing it out or moving the rest down is unnecessary.
     Subsequent routines reading the value will simply take the high
     limbs they need, and this will be '_mp_prec' if their target has
     that same precision.  This is no more than a pointer adjustment,
     and must be checked anyway since the destination precision can be
     different from the sources.

     Copy functions like 'mpf_set' will retain a full '_mp_prec+1' limbs
     if available.  This ensures that a variable which has '_mp_size'
     equal to '_mp_prec+1' will get its full exact value copied.
     Strictly speaking this is unnecessary since only '_mp_prec' limbs
     are needed for the application's requested precision, but it's
     considered that an 'mpf_set' from one variable into another of the
     same precision ought to produce an exact copy.

Application Precisions
     '__GMPF_BITS_TO_PREC' converts an application requested precision
     to an '_mp_prec'.  The value in bits is rounded up to a whole limb
     then an extra limb is added since the most significant limb of
     '_mp_d' is only non-zero and therefore might contain only one bit.

     '__GMPF_PREC_TO_BITS' does the reverse conversion, and removes the
     extra limb from '_mp_prec' before converting to bits.  The net
     effect of reading back with 'mpf_get_prec' is simply the precision
     rounded up to a multiple of 'mp_bits_per_limb'.

     Note that the extra limb added here for the high only being
     non-zero is in addition to the extra limb allocated to '_mp_d'.
     For example with a 32-bit limb, an application request for 250 bits
     will be rounded up to 8 limbs, then an extra added for the high
     being only non-zero, giving an '_mp_prec' of 9.  '_mp_d' then gets
     10 limbs allocated.  Reading back with 'mpf_get_prec' will take
     '_mp_prec' subtract 1 limb and multiply by 32, giving 256 bits.

     Strictly speaking, the fact the high limb has at least one bit
     means that a float with, say, 3 limbs of 32-bits each will be
     holding at least 65 bits, but for the purposes of 'mpf_t' it's
     considered simply to be 64 bits, a nice multiple of the limb size.

16.4 Raw Output Internals
=========================

'mpz_out_raw' uses the following format.

     +------+------------------------+
     | size |       data bytes       |
     +------+------------------------+

   The size is 4 bytes written most significant byte first, being the
number of subsequent data bytes, or the twos complement negative of that
when a negative integer is represented.  The data bytes are the absolute
value of the integer, written most significant byte first.

   The most significant data byte is always non-zero, so the output is
the same on all systems, irrespective of limb size.

   In GMP 1, leading zero bytes were written to pad the data bytes to a
multiple of the limb size.  'mpz_inp_raw' will still accept this, for
compatibility.

   The use of "big endian" for both the size and data fields is
deliberate, it makes the data easy to read in a hex dump of a file.
Unfortunately it also means that the limb data must be reversed when
reading or writing, so neither a big endian nor little endian system can
just read and write '_mp_d'.

16.5 C++ Interface Internals
============================

A system of expression templates is used to ensure something like
'a=b+c' turns into a simple call to 'mpz_add' etc.  For 'mpf_class' the
scheme also ensures the precision of the final destination is used for
any temporaries within a statement like 'f=w*x+y*z'.  These are
important features which a naive implementation cannot provide.

   A simplified description of the scheme follows.  The true scheme is
complicated by the fact that expressions have different return types.
For detailed information, refer to the source code.

   To perform an operation, say, addition, we first define a "function
object" evaluating it,

     struct __gmp_binary_plus
     {
       static void eval(mpf_t f, const mpf_t g, const mpf_t h)
       {
         mpf_add(f, g, h);
       }
     };

And an "additive expression" object,

     __gmp_expr<__gmp_binary_expr<mpf_class, mpf_class, __gmp_binary_plus> >
     operator+(const mpf_class &f, const mpf_class &g)
     {
       return __gmp_expr
         <__gmp_binary_expr<mpf_class, mpf_class, __gmp_binary_plus> >(f, g);
     }

   The seemingly redundant '__gmp_expr<__gmp_binary_expr<...>>' is used
to encapsulate any possible kind of expression into a single template
type.  In fact even 'mpf_class' etc are 'typedef' specializations of
'__gmp_expr'.

   Next we define assignment of '__gmp_expr' to 'mpf_class'.

     template <class T>
     mpf_class & mpf_class::operator=(const __gmp_expr<T> &expr)
     {
       expr.eval(this->get_mpf_t(), this->precision());
       return *this;
     }

     template <class Op>
     void __gmp_expr<__gmp_binary_expr<mpf_class, mpf_class, Op> >::eval
     (mpf_t f, mp_bitcnt_t precision)
     {
       Op::eval(f, expr.val1.get_mpf_t(), expr.val2.get_mpf_t());
     }

   where 'expr.val1' and 'expr.val2' are references to the expression's
operands (here 'expr' is the '__gmp_binary_expr' stored within the
'__gmp_expr').

   This way, the expression is actually evaluated only at the time of
assignment, when the required precision (that of 'f') is known.
Furthermore the target 'mpf_t' is now available, thus we can call
'mpf_add' directly with 'f' as the output argument.

   Compound expressions are handled by defining operators taking
subexpressions as their arguments, like this:

     template <class T, class U>
     __gmp_expr
     <__gmp_binary_expr<__gmp_expr<T>, __gmp_expr<U>, __gmp_binary_plus> >
     operator+(const __gmp_expr<T> &expr1, const __gmp_expr<U> &expr2)
     {
       return __gmp_expr
         <__gmp_binary_expr<__gmp_expr<T>, __gmp_expr<U>, __gmp_binary_plus> >
         (expr1, expr2);
     }

   And the corresponding specializations of '__gmp_expr::eval':

     template <class T, class U, class Op>
     void __gmp_expr
     <__gmp_binary_expr<__gmp_expr<T>, __gmp_expr<U>, Op> >::eval
     (mpf_t f, mp_bitcnt_t precision)
     {
       // declare two temporaries
       mpf_class temp1(expr.val1, precision), temp2(expr.val2, precision);
       Op::eval(f, temp1.get_mpf_t(), temp2.get_mpf_t());
     }

   The expression is thus recursively evaluated to any level of
complexity and all subexpressions are evaluated to the precision of 'f'.

is the author of the current combinatorial functions: binomial,
factorial, multifactorial, primorial.

   David Harvey suggested the internal function 'mpn_bdiv_dbm1',
implementing division relevant to Toom multiplication.  He also worked
on fast assembly sequences, in particular on a fast AMD64
'mpn_mul_basecase'.  He wrote the internal middle product functions

Appendix C GNU Free Documentation License
*****************************************

                     Version 1.3, 3 November 2008

     Copyright © 2000-2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
     <http://fsf.org/>

     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

  0. PREAMBLE

     The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
     functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
     assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
     with or without modifying it, either commercially or
     noncommercially.  Secondarily, this License preserves for the
     author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
     being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

     This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
     works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
     It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
     license designed for free software.

     We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
     free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
     free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
     that the software does.  But this License is not limited to
     software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
     of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.  We
     recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
     instruction or reference.

  1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

     This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
     that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can
     be distributed under the terms of this License.  Such a notice
     grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
     to use that work under the conditions stated herein.  The
     "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work.  Any member
     of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".  You accept
     the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way
     requiring permission under copyright law.

     A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
     Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
     modifications and/or translated into another language.

     A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
     of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
     publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
     subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
     fall directly within that overall subject.  (Thus, if the Document
     is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
     explain any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of
     historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
     of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
     regarding them.

     The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
     titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the
     notice that says that the Document is released under this License.
     If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it
     is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.  The Document may
     contain zero Invariant Sections.  If the Document does not identify
     any Invariant Sections then there are none.

     The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
     listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
     that says that the Document is released under this License.  A
     Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
     be at most 25 words.

     A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
     represented in a format whose specification is available to the
     general public, that is suitable for revising the document
     straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed
     of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely
     available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text
     formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats
     suitable for input to text formatters.  A copy made in an otherwise
     Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has
     been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by
     readers is not Transparent.  An image format is not Transparent if
     used for any substantial amount of text.  A copy that is not
     "Transparent" is called "Opaque".

     Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
     ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
     SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming
     simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification.
     Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG.
     Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and
     edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which
     the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and
     the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
     processors for output purposes only.

     The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
     plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
     material this License requires to appear in the title page.  For
     works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
     Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
     work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

     The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies
     of the Document to the public.

     A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
     whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
     following text that translates XYZ in another language.  (Here XYZ
     stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
     "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
     To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
     Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
     to this definition.

     The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
     which states that this License applies to the Document.  These
     Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
     this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
     implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
     has no effect on the meaning of this License.

  2. VERBATIM COPYING

     You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
     commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
     copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
     applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
     add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You
     may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
     or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However,
     you may accept compensation in exchange for copies.  If you
     distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the
     conditions in section 3.

     You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
     and you may publicly display copies.

  3. COPYING IN QUANTITY

     If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
     have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
     the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
     enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
     these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
     Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly
     and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies.  The
     front cover must present the full title with all words of the title
     equally prominent and visible.  You may add other material on the
     covers in addition.  Copying with changes limited to the covers, as
     long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these
     conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

     If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
     legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
     reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
     adjacent pages.

     If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
     numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable
     Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with
     each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general
     network-using public has access to download using public-standard
     network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free
     of added material.  If you use the latter option, you must take
     reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque
     copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will
     remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one
     year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or
     through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

     It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
     the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies,
     to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
     Document.

  4. MODIFICATIONS

     You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
     under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
     release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the
     Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing
     distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever
     possesses a copy of it.  In addition, you must do these things in
     the Modified Version:

       A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
          distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous
          versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the
          History section of the Document).  You may use the same title
          as a previous version if the original publisher of that
          version gives permission.

       B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
          entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
          the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
          principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
          authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
          from this requirement.

       C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
          Modified Version, as the publisher.

       D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.

       E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
          adjacent to the other copyright notices.

       F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
          notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
          Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
          the Addendum below.

       G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
          Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
          license notice.

       H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.

       I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
          and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
          authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the
          Title Page.  If there is no section Entitled "History" in the
          Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and
          publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add
          an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the
          previous sentence.

       J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
          for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
          likewise the network locations given in the Document for
          previous versions it was based on.  These may be placed in the
          "History" section.  You may omit a network location for a work
          that was published at least four years before the Document
          itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers
          to gives permission.

       K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
          Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section
          all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
          acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.

       L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered
          in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers or the
          equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.

       M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements".  Such a section
          may not be included in the Modified Version.

       N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
          "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
          Section.

       O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.

     If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
     appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
     material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate
     some or all of these sections as invariant.  To do this, add their
     titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's
     license notice.  These titles must be distinct from any other
     section titles.

     You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
     nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
     parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
     has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
     definition of a standard.

     You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
     and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of
     the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one passage
     of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
     through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the Document
     already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added
     by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on
     behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old
     one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added
     the old one.

     The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
     License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
     assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

  5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS

     You may combine the Document with other documents released under
     this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
     modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all
     of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
     unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
     combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
     their Warranty Disclaimers.

     The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
     multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
     copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
     but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
     by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
     original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
     unique number.  Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
     the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
     combined work.

     In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
     "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
     Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
     "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications".  You
     must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."

  6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

     You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
     documents released under this License, and replace the individual
     copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
     that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
     rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents
     in all other respects.

     You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
     distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
     a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
     License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
     document.

  7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

     A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
     separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a
     storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
     copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
     legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
     works permit.  When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
     License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
     are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

     If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
     copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
     of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
     on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
     electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
     form.  Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
     the whole aggregate.

  8. TRANSLATION

     Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
     distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
     4.  Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
     permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
     translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
     original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
     translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
     Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
     include the original English version of this License and the
     original versions of those notices and disclaimers.  In case of a
     disagreement between the translation and the original version of
     this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
     prevail.

     If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
     "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
     Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
     actual title.

  9. TERMINATION

     You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
     except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
     otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void,
     and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

     However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
     license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
     provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
     finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
     copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
     reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

     Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
     reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
     violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
     received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
     that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
     after your receipt of the notice.

     Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
     the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you
     under this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not
     permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the
     same material does not give you any rights to use it.

  10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

     The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
     the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.  Such new
     versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
     differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
     <https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/>.

     Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
     number.  If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
     version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
     have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
     that specified version or of any later version that has been
     published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.  If the
     Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may
     choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free
     Software Foundation.  If the Document specifies that a proxy can
     decide which future versions of this License can be used, that
     proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
     authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.

  11. RELICENSING

     "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any
     World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
     provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works.  A
     public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server.
     A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the
     site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
     site.

     "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
     license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
     corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
     California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
     published by that same organization.

     "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
     in part, as part of another Document.

     An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this
     License, and if all works that were first published under this
     License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently
     incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover
     texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior
     to November 1, 2008.

     The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the
     site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1,
     2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.

ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
====================================================

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
notices just after the title page:

       Copyright (C)  YEAR  YOUR NAME.
       Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
       under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
       or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
       with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
       Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
       Free Documentation License''.

   If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
Texts, replace the "with...Texts."  line with this:

         with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
         the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
         being LIST.

   If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
situation.

   If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit
their use in free software.
