Implementation of Extended-length Arithmetic on Graphics Processor Units
D. A. Orlov , e-mail: orlovdmal@gmail.com

Nowadays the new filed in programming general purpose computations on graphics processor units — GP GPU is developing dramatically. Peak performance of graphics processor units (GPU) is much higher than one of central processors.

In this paper the opportunity of using GPU for computation with extended-length numbers is shown. Two variants of algorithms of arithmetic operations are proposed. The application field of proposed algorithms is shown.

Keywords: GPU, parallel computation, computer arithmetic, CUDA, GP GPU, numbers of extended length
