FFLAS-FFPACK - Finite Field Linear Algebra Subroutines / Package

Download this project as a .zip file Download this project as a tar.gz file

FFLAS-FFPACK is a LGPL-2.1+ source code library for basic linear algebra operations over a finite field. It is inspired by the BLAS interface (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) and the LAPACK library for numerical linear algebra, and shares part of their design. Yet it differs in many aspects due to the specifities of computing over a finite field:

FFLAS

FFLAS (Finite Field Linear Algebra Subprograms) provides the implementation of a subset of routines of the numerical BLAS, with the prefix letter f standing for finite field.

Recently FFLAS started to also provide support for sparse matrix operations, more specifically sparse matrix vector product, using various data storage schemes.

FFPACK

FFPACK (Finite Field Linear Algebra Package) is inspired by the LAPACK library to provide functionnalities of higher level, using the kernel of a BLAS. For the computations that are identical to the numerical linear algebra lirbary, the naming convention is kept:

However the library also provides many other routines, specific to exact linear algebra:
