mpfr

The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point computations with correct rounding. MPFR has continuously been supported by INRIA and the current main authors come from the Caramba and AriC project teams at Loria (Nancy, France) and LIP (Lyon, France) respectively; see more on the credit page. MPFR is based on the GMP multiple-precision library.

The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision floating-point computation which is both efficient and has a well-defined semantics. It copies the good ideas from the ANSI/IEEE-754 standard for double-precision floating-point arithmetic (53-bit significand).
