Hi sage-devel, Our current polynomial implementation has severe issues:
- Our speed for GF(2^e)[x] is abysmal. - For other cases we are probably not linking to the currently fastest libraries. - We don't have multi-point evaluation or fast Lagrange interpolation, even though the libraries we link to often have this. - Bruno Grenet remarked at SD75 that there were issues and lots of crufted code in the class structure handling generic/specific and dense/sparse/etc. polynomials. - Jeroen Demeyer remarked that the Cython code is from the prehistoric era and has lots of cruft from back when Cython was a lot more primitive than it is now. - add more things yourself. Considering how central polynomial arithmetic is in many parts of algebra, I think this is bad, and it impedes gradual improvement (e.g. I am at a loss on how to improve the GF(2^e)[x] thing which is my personal main itch). I would be interested in co-mentoring such a GSoC project for improving this. But I lack understanding of, especially Cython and linking. I would like to know if someone else would be a co-mentor with me on this, or technical advisor on e.g. Cython issues.
