What is Sollya?

Sollya is both a tool environment and a library for safe floating-point code development. It is particularily targeted to the automatized implementation of mathematical floating-point libraries (libm). Amongst other features, it offers a certified infinity (supremum) norm and a fast Remez algorithm.

Sollya is developed by University of Alaska Anchorage, College of Engineering and FACTAS. It is written by Christoph Lauter, Sylvain Chevillard, M. Joldeș and N. Jourdan. The Inria project-teams Arénaire, Caramel and Apics and the team PEQUAN from the LIP6 laboratory at Sorbonne Université contributed to previous versions of Sollya.

Sollya provides you with: In order to build Sollya, you will need: a C compiler (e.g., gcc), a C++ compiler (e.g., g++), GMP, MPFR, MPFI, FPLLL, and libxml2.
Gnuplot is highly recommended for using the plot and externalplot commands. It is not required though.
