Questions:
* Should I care running tuneup at all?
The application does some heavy computations with it in the range
+-99999999999999999 (mostly multiply and divide [often by 10] and
99999999999999999 fits in 63 bits, correct?
For that range, on a 64-bits CPU, the native integer types should be
enough.
The manual, with "extremely large numbers", means much larger bit-sizes.
You probably don't need tuneup at all.
Moreover, the sources of GMP already contain pre-tuned parameters for
many platforms. They are automatically used by the typical
./condigure&&make&&make check
building process. So that tuning is, in most of the cases, superfluous.
* As the output of the tuneup utility is different each time and the
docs at https://gmplib.org/manual/Performance-optimization are more
spare than for other parts: Should I run it multiple times and then
use the average?
Some thresholds may have a large range of tolerance, some doesn't.
In any case, a collection of parameters needs to be coherent.
So my answer is: use the results from a single run.
Ĝis,
m
