Detailed Description

This directory is used to perform benchmarks on LinBox.

The benchmarks are meant for :

• the user to guide her through the various choices of algorithms/implementation provided in her particular case.
• the developer to test her new algorithms against the others or check that the newest shiny subroutine she just wrote didn't deteriorate too much the performance of LinBox :) (regression testing purpose).

Benchmarks can be grouped in :

• basic routines (fflas/ffpack, integer operations,...) ;
• algorithms ;
• solutions.

When another free library (NTL, IML,...) provides a routine that exists in LinBox, we want to be able to compare it to our implementation.

Default parameters can be changed on the command-line, just as in examples/ and tests/.
