The document discusses implementing multiple-precision arithmetic in WebAssembly. It describes how carry operations are important for multiple-precision addition and multiplication but are not supported natively in WebAssembly. It proposes some strategies for emulating carry operations in WebAssembly using instructions like add, lt_u, and select to add multiples of 64-bit elements with carry propagation. Benchmark results show that 32-bit element processing can outperform 64-bit element processing for some operations like multiplication in WebAssembly. Overall, implementing efficient multiple-precision arithmetic in WebAssembly requires emulating carry operations that are supported directly in x64 processors.
