Let me be the first on this list to congratulate you! IMHO, this is a big contribution.. Can you give some timings, comparing your package vs nauty? I'm not sure how to browse a patch and even if I did, I'm not sure I'd understand your code. How much is Sagex and how much is Python? +++

Hi, sage.math.washington.edu is back. If you have an account there, you should be able to log in with ssh. 1. The operating system is amd64 Debian. This is a completely fresh install, so it's likely some packages you might need are not installed right now. Let me know, and I'll apt-get 'em. (

Hi, http://www.sagemath.org is basically completely back online. This restores all the SAGE web services except for the notebooks. In particular, if you do export SAGE_SERVER="http://www.sagemath.org/"; you should be able to get optional packages, do hg_sage.send('package.hg') etc. In sage-2.

That looks like a good link. I just read through the article there and the author really seems to know his stuff. There is GPL'ed code for the index calculus method over GF(p) as well as some other things. I didn't managed to compile it (yet?) as I don't have NTL installed outside sage. Michel.

Hmm too bad. Googling didn't reveal any open source implementations. The index calculus algorithm makes use of linear algebra over mod rings. Perhaps that is what makes it difficult to implement? Michel On Mar 23, 4:29 pm, "William Stein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 3/23/07, Michel <[EMAIL
