Matrices


New Features:

  • Matrix multiplication has been greatly improved in the case that one of the input matrices is sparse and the other dense.
  • Matrix multiplication has been sped up over prime finite fields by the use of precomputation of the inverse of the modulus.
  • Dense matrix multiplication over GF(2) now uses Intel SSE2 instructions when supported.
  • Linear algebra over finite fields of characteristic 2 has been sped up in general.
  • The calculation of the Smith normal form and the determinant of a dense matrix defined over an euclidean ring has been greatly improved through replacing the Havas-Holt-Rees algorithm by an asymptotically-fast recursive echelon algorithm.
  • Echelonization and nullspace computation for sparse matrices over the rational field have been improved.
