Most personal web pages are really boring; people only write about themselves. This page is different and very interesting--it is about me! Me, me, me!
Private life
Private life? I am a nerd, dammit!Professional life
I work in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. I no longer work on Södermalm, the inner city island that used to be inhabited by workers in the old days. Now it is gradually taken over by the crowd that think a shining car will make them happy. But it is still nice here! If you visit Stockholm, I think your should ignore the rest and spend your time on Södermalm.
I'm the principal author of GMP, the GNU multiple precision arithmetic library. GMP development is fun, since it combines maths with low-level programming. I earlier wrote GNU cp, split, and a couple of other command-line utilities, as well as the GNU superoptimizer. And I wrote the foundation and first implementations of GNU libc's memcpy, memmove, and associated functions. I am a long-term contributor to the GCC project, but now I only rarely contribute patches, and I stepped down from the GCC Steering Committee in early 2004.
