PARI happy new year |
Happy new year to all PARI lovers! I have some news: 1) The 64bit bench was not updated after Karim last patch, so make bench fail on 64bit machines. If the only problem in the nfield diff is similar to (outside timing) ? getheap ! [200, 111766] ? print("Total time spent: ",gettime); --- 1161,1167 ---- ? getheap ! [200, 111754] everything is fine. 2) I have worked on a public interface for polynomials modulo small primes. The large patch is here: <http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/~bill/patch-flx-20040105> In particular factormod should use less memory when the prime number is small, on the other hand I have probably added several bugs. The new function are prefixed with `Flx'. 'l' means a small prime number and 'x' a 'small polynomial' stored as a t_VECSMALL. This patch also remove some overload in the FpXQ functions that should not be allowed. 3) Some discussions on the level 0 multi-precision kernel: There were discussions with Guillaume Hanrot whether we could use GMP longlong.h to implement the level0.h, but I never posted the conclusion. This is not possible since longlong.h implement a 2Nx2N->4N arithmetic whereas PARI level0 need a NxN->2N arithmetic (where N=sizeof(long)), so this is not suitable. On the other hand, Guillaume has written a level0 kernel for ppc and ia64 so we have a level0 for all relevant architectures currently. Cheers, Bill.
