Yes, I have no issues with writing the modular reduction myself. The problem is that the standard mpi library that comes with perl is way to slow (130 seconds for a normal exponentiation using reduction), and that the plugin ones are either borked or do not support bit shifts (needed for mod reduction). I'm guessing you are using an library for python, not writing mpi code yourself... > > -- > Itamar S.T. itamar at maxnm.com > > _______________________________________________ > Freenet-dev mailing list > Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net > http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev -- Oskar Sandberg md98-osa at nada.kth.se _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
