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: mpir.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 (ie. 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.

File: mpir.info, Node: Perfect Power Algorithm, Prev: Perfect Square Algorithm, Up: Root Extraction Algorithms
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.

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

File: mpir.info, Node: Binary to Radix, Next: Radix to Binary, Prev: Radix Conversion Algorithms, Up: Radix Conversion Algorithms
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 MPIR 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.
'mpf_get_str' doesn't currently use the algorithm described here, it
multiplies or divides by a power of b to move the radix point to the
just above the highest non-zero digit (or at worst one above that
location), then multiplies by b^n to bring out digits. This is O(N^2)
and is certainly not optimal.
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, ie. 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 is out-of-date.
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_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_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_THRESHOLD' usually ends up quite big, around 5000 digits, and
on some processors much bigger still.
'SET_STR_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_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 10, or more).

15.7.1 Prime Testing
--------------------
This section is somewhat out-of-date.
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
----------------
This section is out-of-date.
Factorials are calculated by a combination of removal of twos,
powering, and binary splitting. The procedure can be best illustrated
with an example,
23! = 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23
has factors of two removed,
23! = 2^{19}.1.1.3.1.5.3.7.1.9.5.11.3.13.7.15.1.17.9.19.5.21.11.23
and the resulting terms collected up according to their multiplicity,
23! = 2^{19}.(3.5)^3.(7.9.11)^2.(13.15.17.19.21.23)
Each sequence such as 13.15.17.19.21.23 is evaluated by splitting
into every second term, as for instance (13.17.21).(15.19.23), and the
same recursively on each half. This is implemented iteratively using
some bit twiddling.
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.
Splitting into subsequences of every second term keeps the resulting
products more nearly equal in size than would the simpler approach of
say taking the first half and second half of the sequence. Nearly equal
products are more efficient for the current multiply implementation.

File: mpir.info, Node: Binomial Coefficients Algorithm, Next: Fibonacci Numbers Algorithm, Prev: Factorial Algorithm, Up: Other Algorithms
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: mpir.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 MPIR 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: mpir.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: mpir.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
MPIR.
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, a 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 MPIR 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 Assembler Coding
=====================
The assembler subroutines in MPIR 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 MPIR
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 assembler. 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: mpir.info, Node: Assembler Basics, Next: Assembler Carry Propagation, Prev: Assembler Code Organisation, Up: Assembler Coding
15.8.2 Assembler Basics
-----------------------
'mpn_addmul_1' and 'mpn_submul_1' are the most important routines for
overall MPIR 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 assembler 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: mpir.info, Node: Assembler Carry Propagation, Next: Assembler Cache Handling, Prev: Assembler Basics, Up: Assembler Coding
15.8.3 Carry Propagation
------------------------
The problem that presents most challenges in MPIR 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 assembler for best results.

File: mpir.info, Node: Assembler Cache Handling, Next: Assembler Functional Units, Prev: Assembler Carry Propagation, Up: Assembler Coding
15.8.4 Cache Handling
---------------------
MPIR 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 assembler
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: mpir.info, Node: Assembler Functional Units, Next: Assembler Floating Point, Prev: Assembler Cache Handling, Up: Assembler Coding
15.8.5 Functional Units
-----------------------
When choosing an approach for an assembler 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 Assembler 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
Assembler Floating Point::).
Float resources can be freed up by doing carry propagation on the

using bit twiddling.

15.8.6 Floating Point
---------------------
Floating point arithmetic is used in MPIR 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 transfered 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 MPIR.
SIMD multiplications of say four 16x16 bit multiplies only do as much
work as one 32x32 from MPIR'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: mpir.info, Node: Assembler Software Pipelining, Next: Assembler Loop Unrolling, Prev: Assembler SIMD Instructions, Up: Assembler 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
Assembler Loop Unrolling::).

File: mpir.info, Node: Assembler Loop Unrolling, Next: Assembler Writing Guide, Prev: Assembler Software Pipelining, Up: Assembler Coding
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 assembler.
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 MPIR 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 MPIR 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.
'_mp_size' and '_mp_prec' 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.
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'.

File: mpir.info, Node: C++ Interface Internals, Prev: Raw Output Internals, Up: Internals
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, mpf_t g, 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'.

Integers and Rationals) project. In 2010 version 2.0.0 of MPIR switched
to LGPL v3+ and much code from GMP was again incorporated into MPIR.
The MPIR project has largely been a collaboration of William Hart,
Brian Gladman and Jason Moxham. MPIR code not obtained from GMP and not
specifically mentioned elsewhere below is likely written by one of these
three.
William Hart did much of the early MPIR coding including build system
fixes. His contributions also include Toom 4 and 7 code and variants,
extended GCD based on Niels Mollers ngcd work, asymptotically fast
division code. He does much of the release management work.
Brian Gladman wrote and maintains MSVC project files. He has also
done much of the conversion of assembly code to yasm format. He rewrote
the benchmark program and developed MSVC ports of tune, speed, try and
the benchmark code. He helped with many aspects of the merging of GMP
code into MPIR after the switch to LGPL v3+.
Jason Moxham has contributed a great deal of x86 assembly code. He
has also contributed improved root code and mulhi and mullo routines and
implemented Peter Montgomery's single limb remainder algorithm. He has
also contributed a command line build system for Windows and numerous
build system fixes.
The following people have either contributed directly to the MPIR
project, made code available on their websites or contributed code to
the official GNU project which has been used in MPIR.
Pierrick Gaudry wrote some fast assembly support for AMD 64.
Jason Martin wrote some fast assembly patches for Core 2 and
converted them to intel format. He also did the initial merge of Niels
Moller's fast GCD patches. He wrote fast addmul functions for Itanium.
Gonzalo Tornaria helped patch config.guess and associated files to
distinguish modern processors. He also patched mpirbench.
Michael Abshoff helped resolve some build issues on various
platforms. He served for a while as release manager for the MPIR
project.
Mariah Lennox contributed patches to mpirbench and various build
failure reports. She has also reported gcc bugs found during MPIR
development.
Niels Moller wrote the fast ngcd code for computing integer GCD, the
quadratic Hensel division code and precomputed inverse code for
Euclidean division. He also made contributions to the Toom multiply
code, especially helper functions to simplify Toom evaluations.
Pierrick Gaudry provided initial AMD 64 assembly support and revised
the FFT code.
Paul Zimmermann provided an mpz implementation of Toom 4, wrote much
of the FFT code, wrote some of the rootrem code and contributed invert.c
for computing precomputed inverses.
Alexander Kruppa revised the FFT code.
Torbjorn Granlund revised the FFT code and wrote a lot of division
code, including the quadratic Euclidean division code, many parts of the
divide and conquer division code, both Hensel and Euclidean, and his
code was also reused for parts of the asymptotically fast division code.
He also helped write the root code and wrote much of the Itanium
assembly code and a couple of Core 2 assembly functions and part of the
basecase middle product assembly code for x86 64 bit. He also wrote the
improved string input and output code and made improvements to the GCD
and extended GCD code. Torbjorn is also responsible for numerous other
bits and pieces that have been used from the GNU project.
Marco Bodrato and Alberto Zanoni suggested the unbalanced multiply
strategy and found optimal Toom multiplication sequences.
Marco Bodrato wrote an mpz implementation of the Toom 7 code and
wrote most of the Toom 8.5 multiply and squaring code. He also helped
write the divide and conquer Euclidean division code.
Robert Gerbicz contributed fast factorial code.
David Harvey wrote fast middle product code and divide and conquer
approximate quotient code for both Euclidean and Hensel division and
contributed to the quadratic Hensel code.
T. R. Nicely wrote primality tests used in the benchmark code.
Jeff Gilchrist assisted with the porting of T. R. Nicely's primality
code to MPIR and helped with tuning.
Peter Shrimpton wrote the BPSW primality test used up to
GMP_LIMB_BITS.
Thanks to Microsoft for supporting Jason Moxham to work on a command
line build system for Windows and some assembly improvements for
Windows.
Thanks to the Free Software Foundation France for giving us access to
their build farm.
Thanks to William Stein for giving us access to his sage.math
machines for testing and for hosting the MPIR website, and for
supporting us in inumerably many other ways.
Minh Van Nguyen served as release manager for MPIR 2.1.0.
Case Vanhorsen helped with release testing.
David Cleaver filed a bug report.
Julien Puydt provided tuning values.
Leif Lionhardy provided tuning values.
Jean-Pierre Flori provided tuning values.

Version 1.3, 3 November 2008
Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 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
<http://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.
