history

Project history and usage

PARI/GP is a computer-algebra system optimized for fast computations in number theory. The distribution pairs the interactive GP language with the embeddable PARI C library.

Project history

PARI's roots reach back to the ISABELLE higher-arithmetic interpreter written by Henri Cohen and François Dress in 1979. The PARI project began taking shape in 1983; Christian Batut, Henri Cohen, and Michel Olivier wrote its first assembly kernel and expanded the library in 1986.

Dominique Bernardi produced a programmable calculator in 1987 and renamed it `gp`. Karim Belabas became maintainer in 1995, and the project subsequently opened its development model, adopted the GPL, and established public source-control history.

Adoption history

PARI developed from a Bordeaux research tool into a GPL-licensed, portable system with regular releases and public version control. The project changed maintainership in 1995, entered CVS in 1999, moved through Subversion, and adopted Git in 2011.

The supplied package metadata shows distribution across Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Alpine, Nix, MacPorts, and openSUSE families, reflecting its dual role as the interactive `gp` calculator and the reusable libpari library.

How it is used

Start `gp` for interactive exact and high-precision computation, define functions or load `.gp` scripts for repeatable work, and use libpari from C when embedding the algorithms. Startup preferences such as precision, colors, paths, memory limits, help, and persistent command history can be placed in a gprc file.

Why package nerds care

PARI/GP is unusually valuable to package users because it is simultaneously a fast interactive calculator, a scripting language specialized for number theory, and a C library embedded by other mathematical software. It offers serious research algorithms without requiring a full general-purpose mathematics environment.

Timeline

  • 1979: Henri Cohen and François Dress wrote the ISABELLE interpreter.
  • 1983: The first stages of the PARI project began.
  • 1986: The first PARI assembly kernel and core library were developed.
  • 1987: The programmable calculator was renamed `gp`.
  • 1990-02-28: PARI 1.31 received an international release.
  • 1995: Karim Belabas became project maintainer.
  • 1999: PARI entered public CVS development.
  • 2000-11-17: PARI 2.1.0 was released under the GPL.
  • 2011-09-08: The source repository migrated to Git.

Related projects

  • GP is the interactive language and calculator built on the PARI library. GP2C is the same project's compiler for translating GP code into C that uses libpari.
