Hi, Just to extend this thread some more, a few remarks.
(1) quaddouble has been included in SAGE for several months now, thanks to the hard work of Didier Deshommes and Robert Bradshaw. sage: RQDF Real Quad Double Field sage: RQDF(2).sin() 0.909297426825681695396019865911744842702254971447890268378973011 (2) Great work on figuring out the problem with mpfr in SAGE! I have fixed this for sage-2.7.3. (3) Here are the latest timings of SAGE versus Mathematica on (a) my Intel OS X laptop, and (b) on an unloaded sage.math (64-bit opteron), both with mathematica 5.2. This is after rebuilding mpfr with -O2. On sage.math: SAGE: sage: time n = number_of_partitions(10^7) CPU times: user 0.73 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.73 s Wall time: 0.73 sage: time n = number_of_partitions(10^8) CPU times: user 8.42 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 8.42 s Wall time: 8.42 sage: time n = number_of_partitions(10^9) CPU times: user 105.82 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 105.82 s Wall time: 105.81 Mathematica: sage: time s=mathematica.eval('PartitionsP[10^7]') CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s Wall time: 1.90 sage: time s=mathematica.eval('PartitionsP[10^8]') CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s Wall time: 9.91 sage: time s=mathematica.eval('PartitionsP[10^9]') CPU times: user 0.03 s, sys: 0.01 s, total: 0.04 s Wall time: 70.43 Interesting, SAGE seems better at Mathematica for smaller input.) On my OS X core 2 duo 2.33Ghz laptop: SAGE: sage: time n=number_of_partitions(10^7) CPU times: user 0.62 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.62 s Wall time: 0.62 sage: time n=number_of_partitions(10^8) CPU times: user 6.99 s, sys: 0.02 s, total: 7.00 s Wall time: 7.03 sage: time n=number_of_partitions(10^9) CPU times: user 94.71 s, sys: 0.28 s, total: 94.99 s Wall time: 95.56 MATHEMATICA: sage: time s=mathematica.eval('PartitionsP[10^7]') CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s Wall time: 8.65 sage: time s=mathematica.eval('PartitionsP[10^8]') CPU times: user 0.01 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.01 s Wall time: 48.08 sage: time s=mathematica.eval('PartitionsP[10^9]') CPU times: user 0.04 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.05 s Wall time: 350.30 Yep -- Mathematica 5.2 interestingly totally sucks at computing the number of partitions on an Intel OSX machine... and SAGE rocks. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
