If I am not mistaken, the patch for Step 1 less the pow() improvements is this one: https://gist.github.com/tbuktu/1576025. For the time being I will start to look at this patch.
Note that it also includes Burnikel-Ziegler. I put it in there because BZ is kind of the division counterpart of Karatsuba/Toom-Cook, so I thought they should go together. If you go with Alan's proposal, we'd need to make a new patch with just Karatsuba, Toom-Cook, and pow(). Maybe Alan has that patch already.
You are correct: I realized that I was mistaken after leaving work.
My latest best version of all of these routines is located at:
This is equivalent to the most recent version of TIm's repository
https://github.com/tbuktu/bigint
plus your changes for pow() and toString()?
They're the same except for some formatting changes I did so the old and new code would match.
OK - thanks. Brian
