What i had in mind is something like this: right now you can compute the primary decomposition of an ideal using
I.primary_decomposition(algorithm='sy') (default) or I.primary_decomposition(algorithm='gtz') what i propose is to keep this, and add some option like I.primary_decomposition(algorithm='parallel') that triggers two independent processes that compute the two previous options. And once the first one gives an answer, the other is killed. This could raise some problems in doctests, since the output could differ if the different algorithsm give different answers (but all of them correct), and it is posible that which is the fastest algorithm deppends on the machine that runs them. Even so, i think that in some cases the potential speed gain is a good reason to go this way. -- 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
