1a. Choose the optimal digit size (intDsize). This is fundamental. On 32-bit |
|
|
|
platforms intDsize=32 is best. On 64-bit platforms intDsize=64 may be |
|
|
|
better, especially if there is a 64x64-bit multiplication in hardware. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Tune GMP. |
|
|
|
1b. Alternatively, tune GMP. When GMP is used, CLN's digit size (intDsize) has |
|
|
|
to match GMP's limb size (sizeof(mp_limb_t)). There is nothing to do at the |
|
|
|
CLN side: The configure script will take care of intDsize automatically. |
