Contributors

The main developers of MPFR are Guillaume Hanrot, Vincent Lefèvre, Patrick Pélissier, Philippe Théveny and Paul Zimmermann.

Sylvie Boldo from ENS-Lyon, France, contributed the functions mpfr_agm and mpfr_log. Sylvain Chevillard contributed the mpfr_ai function. David Daney contributed the hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions, the base-2 exponential, and the factorial function. Alain Delplanque contributed the new version of the mpfr_get_str function. Mathieu Dutour contributed the functions mpfr_acos, mpfr_asin and mpfr_atan, and a previous version of mpfr_gamma. Laurent Fousse contributed the original version of the mpfr_sum function (used up to MPFR 3.1). Emmanuel Jeandel, from ENS-Lyon too, contributed the generic hypergeometric code, as well as the internal function mpfr_exp3, a first implementation of the sine and cosine, and improved versions of mpfr_const_log2 and mpfr_const_pi. Ludovic Meunier helped in the design of the mpfr_erf code. Jean-Luc Rémy contributed the mpfr_zeta code. Fabrice Rouillier contributed the mpfr_xxx_z and mpfr_xxx_q functions, and helped to the Microsoft Windows porting. Damien Stehlé contributed the mpfr_get_ld_2exp function. Charles Karney contributed the mpfr_nrandom and mpfr_erandom functions.

We would like to thank Jean-Michel Muller and Joris van der Hoeven for very fruitful discussions at the beginning of that project, Torbjörn Granlund and Kevin Ryde for their help about design issues, and Nathalie Revol for her careful reading of a previous version of this documentation. In particular Kevin Ryde did a tremendous job for the portability of MPFR in 2002-2004.

The development of the MPFR library would not have been possible without the continuous support of INRIA, and of the LORIA (Nancy, France) and LIP (Lyon, France) laboratories. In particular the main authors were or are members of the PolKA, Spaces, Cacao, Caramel and Caramba project-teams at LORIA and of the Arénaire and AriC project-teams at LIP. This project was started during the Fiable (reliable in French) action supported by INRIA, and continued during the AOC action. The development of MPFR was also supported by a grant (202F0659 00 MPN 121) from the Conseil Régional de Lorraine in 2002, from INRIA by an "associate engineer" grant (2003-2005), an "opération de développement logiciel" grant (2007-2009), and the post-doctoral grant of Sylvain Chevillard in 2009-2010. The MPFR-MPC workshop in June 2012 was partly supported by the ERC grant ANTICS of Andreas Enge. The MPFR-MPC workshop in January 2013 was partly supported by the ERC grant ANTICS, the GDR IM and the Caramel project-team, during which Mickaël Gastineau contributed the MPFRbench program, Fredrik Johansson a faster version of mpfr_const_euler, and Jianyang Pan a formally proven version of the mpfr_add1sp1 internal routine.
