Well, to nitpick a little, Haskell is a language standard, and it does
not specify a particular implementation for bignums. However, GHC uses
GMP for arbitrary precision integers, and I think Hugs does as well. I
can't really comment on NHC.

Dear All,
I am searching for documents/web pages that describe how bignums
(integers of arbitrary size) are implemented in Haskell. In
particular, I am interested in how bignums are represented, the
algorithms used for bignum arithmetic, base conversion algorithms, and
performance studies. Any pointers you can provide will be greatly
appreciated.
Best wishes,
Marco
