Hello,
bearophile and Robert, thank you for your prompt response.
I will try NumPy (this is a good execuse to learn and to use a new
package).
I haven't seen uint128 in the wild, though.
Of course, not many applications require uinit128 as a scalar value.
I may need to deal with 128-bit data as it is now not uncommon to have
128-bit data bus (or even 256-bit wide and beyond) in ASICs
(microchip) design. Unfortunately, some designs use big-endian and
others use little-endian ...
Is that actually a 2s-complement 128-bit unsigned integer, or is it just a
128-bit-long chunk of data?
