There is no +practical limit to the precision except the ones implied by the available +memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of functions, and the +functions have a regular interface. + +The main target applications for GMP are cryptography applications and +research, Internet security applications, algebra systems, computational +algebra research, etc. + +GMP is carefully designed to be as fast as possible, both for small operands +and for huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as the basic +arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, with highly optimised assembly +code for the most common inner loops for a lot of CPUs, and by a general +emphasis on speed. + +GMP is faster than any other bignum library.
