Information about the package, libscs, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The libscs package is designed for, Software Carry-Save Multiple-Precision Library.
Package Name:
libscs
Summary:
Software Carry-Save Multiple-Precision Library
Description:
The Software Carry-Save (SCS) Library is a fast and lightweight multiple-precision library. SCSLib has the following features: - Multiple-precision SCSLib is a fixed-precision library, where precision is selected at compile-time. Out-of-the-box, the library ensures 210 bits of precision (quad-double). - Floating-point format The SCS format is a floating-point format where exponents are machine integers (usually 32-bit numbers), which ensures a huge exponent range. - Supported operations SCSLib currently offers addition/subtraction, multiplication, and an experimental division, plus all the useful conversion functions. - IEEE-754 compatibility The range of SCS numbers includes the range of IEEE double-precision numbers, including denormals and exceptional cases. Conversions between SCS format and IEEE-754 doubles, as well as arithmetic operations, follow the IEEE rules concerning the exceptional cases. SCS doesn't ensure correct rounding, but provides conversions to doubles in the four IEEE-754 rounding modes. - Performance SCSLib is designed to be fast. With 210 bits, it outperforms MPF for most operations on most architectures.

Control the libscs package with the following handy commands outlined below.
yum install libscs
This command will install libscs on the server.
yum remove libscs
This command will un-install libscs on the server. When you run this command, you will be asked if you are sure that you want to remove libscs, so you have to manually confirm that you want to do this.
yum -y remove libscs
This command will un-install libscs on the server. When you run this command with th e -y flag, you will not be prompted to check that you are sure you want to remove the package - so be sure you absolutely want to remove libscs when using the -y flag.
yum update libscs
This command will update libscs to the latest version. When you run this command, you will be asked if you are sure that you want to remove libscs, so you have to manually confirm that you want to do this.
yum -y update libscs
This command will update libscs to the latest version. When you run this command with the -y flag, you will not be prompted to check that you are sure you want to remove the package - so be sure you absolutely want to remove libscs when using the -y flag.
yum info libscs
This command will show you core information about the libscs package.
yum deplist libscs
This command will show you the dependencies for libscs. Thankfully, when using Yum, if dependencies are required, these are also installed at the same time so you don't have to worry too much about that.
yum check-update libscs
This command will check if there is an update waiting on libscs. When you run this command this will return nothing if there is nothing to update, or, will return the package name if the package is due to be updated.
