I've got a recursive Karatsuba template available in my catalog already.
Maybe we should try it out.
For sure!
I will put the Karatsuba into my local copy and take it to the test over the holidays. I will report on its performance as the data become available. <snip>
So maybe examples are a higher priority for now?
I added a brief PDF report on generic numeric programming and included three sample files in the SVN repo today. https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/big_number/libs/multiprecision/examp... I can't write quickbook so I wrote LaTeX. I can't add *.tex to SVN (my bad on some kind of mime or whatever). I added the LaTeX text to this e-mail. If you approve of these examples, may I ask you to translate my doc to yours? In my opinion, Boost.Multiprecision is a wonderful creation from John and Paul and my preliminary contributions. There is nothing like it in compiled code for MP numerical analysis. I have a lot more ideas for this thing than time. My dream list is *way* bigger than the time we have right now: * 1,000 digits high performance * Transition to competitive base-2 back-end * up to 1,000,000 digits for the hunters * PSLQ algorithm for experimental mathematics * Seamless interface to Python and Mathematica (in my original research paper)*But we need to go to review with what we got soon.* <snip> Best regards, Chris. P.S. I also have a potential solution to my excessive guard digits. I can show it to you with the Karatsuba stuff and, based on your approval, commit it.
