[sage-devel] Re: Monomial ideal interface

2008-05-10 Thread Michael Brickenstein
Hi! If there is bigger interest in monomial ideals, they can represented very efficiently in the case of Boolean polynomials, by a single decision diagram. Operations between monomial ideals can be implemented by single, very efficient ZDD operations. If you don't have degree bound one per

In keeping with the just do it style of consensus building, I wrote up a page describing an early view of distributed computing and Sage. Forgive the tone which reads like I have standing in the Sage community... its a hard habit to break and I didn't want to waste a lot of time wordsmithing...

Okay, I will not bother submitting the flintqs package to Debian, since it sounds like things may move to flint entirely before the SAGE package makes it into Debian upstream anyway. -Tim Abbott On May 8, 10:02 am, Bill Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The new quadratic sieve included in

[sage-devel] Migrating CDF and RDF matrices to numpy

2008-05-10 Thread Jason Grout
Currently CDF and RDF matrices wrap GSL matrices and use GSL algorithms for part of the computations. After talking with a few lead developers on IRC, it seems that the consensus is that numpy is generally better and has a much, much stronger community. What do people think of moving the
