Just in case anyone is interested... I released a new version of NTL that offers a new "thread boosting" feature, which utilizes multiple cores to speed up certain computations. This is a work in progress...as of now, only basic operations in ZZ_pX are thread boosted.
You can see a report on the effect of thread boosting on polynomial factorization here: http://www.shoup.net/ntl/boost.pdf Short synopsis: using 16 cores, NTL's (already pretty fast) algorithm for factoring polynomials over ZZ_p now runs 10-12 times faster. This is a result of boosting the low-level ZZ_pX arithmetic...the higher-level factoring routines are completely unchanged. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
