I add the benchmark for Maple 15 in http://www.imcce.fr/trip/features.php I take care to report the time used in the multiplication step for SDMP and not the time used in the construction of the Maple DAG. For example, I use the following code for the sparse example: with(CodeTools): sdmp:-info(1)

I was surprised to still see a bit of this in practice on an 8x Core2 system with the example from our paper: f := (1 + x + y + 2*z^2 + 3*t^3 + 5*u^5)^12: g := (1 + u + t + 2*z^2 + 3*y^3 + 5*x^5)^12: What happens here is that we construct the result one term at a time, and doing that requires a

I believe they are advertising on SDMP polynomial multiplication for the parallel symbolic compution. TRIP has an interesting benchmarks about that: http://www.imcce.fr/Equipes/ASD/trip/features.php I'm curious to know if performance of Maple 15 are following the same as for Maple 14. -- To post
