PARI library benchmarks: floating point arithmetic

This page refers to version 2.9.5 of the PARI/GP system [ bench source code ], with native kernel and GMP kernel respectively. PARI and GMP-6.0.0 were linked dynamically to the bench program. This benchmark was adapted from the MPFR bench, with a minor change: we precompute log(2) and π.

The following tables give the cpu time in milliseconds spent by the PARI kernels for different operations, at different (decimal) digitsizes.
