Arbitrary-size bignums are actually a difficult problem on massively
parallel architectures, as they (by definition) require scalable
(malloc-style) memory allocation.

If all your numbers are bounded enough to only require a fixed size (say
128 or 256 bits), this is much more feasible, but again, there isn't a
library available (to my knowledge) that does this.
