Hey everyone,
since my update to Sage 6.2 I noticed some timing issues when multiplying
elements of LaurentPolynomialRing() over some finite fields, say
FiniteField(25).
Some basic multiplications were more than 10 times faster in Sage 6.1.1.
Is there a way to speed up those multiplications?
Also the ordering of elements in the LaurentPolynomialRing is reversed
compared to 6.1.1. It would be good, if such changes are noted somewhere.
Best
Markus
One may check the following:
The settings:
Myfield.<a> = FiniteField(25)
L.<t> = LaurentPolynomialRing(Myfield)
The function:
def MultiplicationTime(element, factor, steps):
ti = time.time()
factor2 = factor^-1
for i in range(steps):
element = factor * element
element = factor2 * element
print time.time() - ti
I am using Win7 64bit -Intel i7 2600 - Oracle VM :4.3.10. Sage 6.1.1 and
Sage 6.2 have the same settings:
When calling MultiplicationTime(a*t,t,32000), the timing in Sage 6.1.1
varies around 0.17 and in Sage 6.2 around 1.9.
When calling MultiplicationTime(a*t,a,32000), the timing in Sage 6.1.1
varies around 0.3 and in Sage 6.2 around 6.2.
I know, that the implementation of LuarentPolynomialRing was rewritten, and
now some exponentoverflow - problems I had are gone (in the given function,
the call with more than 32768 steps raised an exponent overflow in Sage
6.1.1, although the exponent stays the same after each pair of
multiplication).
