Architecture of the library

The distribution contains subdirectories (documented as `modules' here)

• linbox. This contains the library sources. The defined objects are in the namespace LinBox.
  • linbox/field, linbox/ring, field and ring representations.
  • linbox/randiter, random element generation for fields and rings.
  • linbox/blackbox, generally immutable matrix representations for blackbox methods (based on matrix-vector products).
  • linbox/matrix, mutable sparse and dense matrices.
  • linbox/algorithms, the core algorithms of LinBox
  • linbox/solutions, convenience wrappers of algorithms
  • linbox/element, details of field and ring element representation.
  • linbox/fflas, wrapper of BLAS for exact finite prime field linear algebra.
  • linbox/ffpack, .
  • linbox/util, basic integers, timing clocks, commentator.
• examples, programs meant to be directly useful or be guides for the progammer using LinBox.
• doc, the browsable html documentation is generated with Doxygen,
• interfaces, interfaces to other systems, such as Maple, gap, web servers,
• tests, primarily correctness tests to aid development.
• benchmarks, where you can benchmark and compare your LinBox installation.
