Open-Source Software

(free, but with absolutely no warranty),
in most cases as open-source software under the
GNU General Public License.

LGPL or
FreeBSD, please contact me.
- Uniform and normal
random number generators
including xorgens, ranut and rannw.
- A program rho.c to compute the Dickman rho function and a related
function mu is here.
- Old (mainly obsolete) programs related to searching for
irreducible/primitive trinomials
(the program irred).
- The (very old) multiple precision arithmetic package
MP.
- Some software which I wrote a long time ago (e.g. for zero-finding
and minimization) is available from
Netlib.
Other software to which I have made some contribution
(but am not the primary developer) includes:
- gf2x,
a software package for
fast arithmetic in GF(2)[x] (multiplication, squaring, GCD),
and searching for irreducible/primitive trinomials.
- GMP-ECM,
a package for integer factorisation using Lenstra's elliptic
curve method (ECM).
- CADO-NFS,
a package for integer factorisation using the number field sieve (NFS).
- MPFR,
a C library for multiple-precision floating-point computations
with correct rounding.
-
Andrew Tridgell's
program for parallel sorting.
