Computational linear algebra over finite fields

We present here algorithms for efficient computation of linear algebra problems over finite fields

Exact Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication on GPU's and Multicore Architectures

We propose different implementations of the sparse matrix--dense vector multiplication (\spmv{}) for finite fields and rings \Zb/m\Zb. We take advantage of graphic card processors (GPU) and multi-core architectures. Our aim is to improve the speed of \spmv{} in the \linbox library, and henceforth the speed of its black box algorithms. Besides, we use this and a new parallelization of the sigma-basis algorithm in a parallel block Wiedemann rank implementation over finite fields

Generic design of Chinese remaindering schemes

We propose a generic design for Chinese remainder algorithms. A Chinese remainder computation consists in reconstructing an integer value from its residues modulo non coprime integers. We also propose an efficient linear data structure, a radix ladder, for the intermediate storage and computations. Our design is structured into three main modules: a black box residue computation in charge of computing each residue; a Chinese remaindering controller in charge of launching the computation and of the termination decision; an integer builder in charge of the reconstruction computation. We then show that this design enables many different forms of Chinese remaindering (e.g. deterministic, early terminated, distributed, etc.), easy comparisons between these forms and e.g. user-transparent parallelism at different parallel grains
