BPAS Logo
The Basic Polynomial Algebra Subprograms (BPAS) library provides support for arithmetic operations with polynomials on modern computer architectures, in particular hardware accelerators. Typical operations are polynomial multiplication, multi-point evaluation and interpolation, real root isolation for both univariate and multivariate systems. Its code is written in C++ with CilkPlus extension targeting multi-core processors. BPAS is also available on GitHub.

Notice: BPAS continues to go through major revisions. Code may not be stable or backward compatible until the next major release.
