Division-Free Binary-to-Decimal Conversion
International audienceThis article presents algorithms that convert multiple precision integer or floating-point numbers from radix to radix (or to any radix ). Those algorithms, based on the ''scaled remainder tree'' technique, use multiplications instead of divisions in their critical part. Both quadratic and subquadratic algorithms are detailed, with proofs of correctness. Experimental results show that our implementation of those algorithms outperforms the GMP library by up to 50\%
