That's fine in the blessed realm of arithmatic rewrite rules, but
here we need bitstrings, and computing large powers of irrational numbers
is not exactly fast.
Phi is definable in finite fields (modular exponentiation yay!) but
modular-ation
seems ... problematic.
I have a gut feeling the p-adic rationals might help, but insufficient knowledge
to formulate code.
The GMP fibbonacci implementation is of my quasilinear recurrence family, not
closed form.
And lest we forget the obvious - by far the fastest way to implement fib in GHC
Haskell:
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -O2 -cpp -fglasgow-exts #-}
module
#ifdef fibimpl
Main(main)
#else
Fibs
#endif
where
import System.Environment
import Array
import List(unfoldr)
#ifdef __GLASGOW_HASKELL__
import System.IO.Unsafe
import Foreign.Marshal.Alloc
import Foreign.Storable
import GHC.Exts
import Foreign.C.Types
#endif
-- same as before
#ifdef __GLASGOW_HASKELL__
foreign import ccall "gmp.h __gmpz_fib_ui" _gfib :: Ptr Int -> CULong -> IO ()
foreign import ccall "gmp.h __gmpz_init" _ginit :: Ptr Int -> IO ()
gmpfib :: Int -> Integer
gmpfib n = unsafePerformIO $ allocaBytes 12 $ \p -> do
_ginit p
_gfib p (fromIntegral n)
I# sz <- peekElemOff p 1
I# pt <- peekElemOff p 2
return (J# sz (unsafeCoerce# (pt -# 8#)))
#endif
