One more thing: let's just have a formal vote now and not bent the rules. If there's sufficient interest in this then it will survive an additional vote.
Here's the description again: M4RIE is a library for dense linear algebra over GF(2^e). It is heavily based on M4RI and is written by me. It is about one year old now (it was started at a Sage Days at RISC) and many things will be improved in the future. However, even in its current state it is much much faster than what we have in Sage now (1000 - 10000 times sometimes) and often much faster than what Magma has to offer (up to 10 times). The library is written in C (+ some C++ for finite fields), comes under the GPLv2+ and builds & passes tests on PPC, x86, x86_64, ia64, arm, sparc under Linux, Solaris (Sparc), OSX and Cygwin (last time I checked). It is actively maintained by a Sage developer: me. So: [] yes include it as standard [] yes but have it as optional SPKG first [] I don't care [] no don't include Cheers, Martin -- name: Martin Albrecht _pgp: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8EF0DC99 _otr: 47F43D1A 5D68C36F 468BAEBA 640E8856 D7951CCF _www: http://martinralbrecht.wordpress.com/ _jab: martinralbre...@jabber.ccc.de -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
