public final class LargeInteger
extends Number<LargeInteger>
```
This class represents an immutable integer number of arbitrary size.

It has the following advantages over the java.math.BigInteger class:
- Optimized for 64 bits architectures. But still runs significantly faster on 32 bits processors.
- Real-time compliant for improved performance and predictability (no garbage generated when executing in StackContext).
- Improved algorithms (e.g. Concurrent Karabutsa multiplication in O(n^Log3) instead of O(n²).
Note: This class uses ConcurrentContext to accelerate calculations on multi-cores systems.
