I would like to have some discussion about the roadmap for matrices in Sage. It seems that linbox has essentially been forked by LELA (http://www.singular.uni-kl.de/lela). Since it optionally contains M4RI, one would think that it is a good fit for Sage, too. Has anybody given any thoughts to switching Sage from linbox to LELA? In particular, Burcin and Martin should have an opinion and it would be nice to hear from them ;-)
On a related note, sparse matrices in Sage suck (dictionary of keys). Sparse matrices in LELA only suck slightly less (list of lists). For fast computation one should implement compressed sparse row/column, I think. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
