* Package name : libtomsfastmath0 Version : 0.12 Upstream Author : Tom St Denis * URL : http://www.libtom.net/?page=features&newsitems=5&whatfile=tfm * License : Public Domain Programming Lang: C Description : TomsFastMath is a fast large integer arithmetic library. It is a port of LibTomMath with optional support for inline assembler multipliers. It has the following features: - Public domain, open source and freely accessible - Builds with GCC [preferably v3.3.x or higher] on any 32-bit/64-bit box - Includes ASM optimizations (inline) for - x86-32 (e.g. i386 and SSE2) - x86-64 (e.g. AMD64) - ARM (ARMv4 and higher) - PPC32 (e.g. G3/G4) - PPC64 (e.g. G5) - AVR32 (Atmel 32-bit RISC processor) - MIPS (32-bit) - Includes fairly complete API (provides most of what LibTomMath provides) - Uses similar API as LibTomMath makes porting easy - Competitive speeds (and getting higher). - Faster than OpenSSL on the AMD64 - Still room for improvements - No heap usage (malloc/calloc/free) - Uses only inline asm, simplifies build process, simple to add new ports This library is already used by a few application in the Debian archive which use a copy of this library within their source tree. I noticed this in the clamav package. Debian's code search [0] reveals other packages.
