-Exponentiation
-
-For exponentiation, the MPI library uses a simple and fairly standard
-square-and-multiply method. The algorithm is this:
-
-Input: a, b
-Output: a ** b
-
- s = 1
-
- while(b != 0)
- if(b is odd)
- s = s * a
- endif
-
- b = b / 2
-
- x = x * x
- endwhile
-
- return s
-
-The modular exponentiation is done the same way, except replacing:
-
- s = s * a
-
-with
- s = (s * a) mod m
-
-and replacing
-
- x = x * x
-
-with
-
- x = (x * x) mod m
-
-Here is a sample exponentiation using the MPI library, as compared to
-the same problem solved by the Unix 'bc' program on my system:
-
-Computation of 2,381,283 ** 235
