I might get blamed for making discouraging remarks, but let me play the devil's advocate:
I wonder if these kinds of speed-ups are to be beaten, soon, by sufficiently fast hardware implementations of level 2 and 3 BLAS, coupled with some crude use of their super-fast vector arithmetic. Assuming most CPUs will get vector processing commands in the near future (GPUs are already there), it seems to be more important to see how level 2 and 3 BLAS can be efficiently called from Sage, without the numpy layer, which is targeted towards numerics, and (IMHO) lacks the appropriate interfaces. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
