FFLAS-FFPACK Documentation.

Introduction

FFLAS-FFPACK is a LGPL-2.1+ source code library for basic linear algebra operations over a finite field. It is inspired by 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:

• it is generic with respect to the finite field, so as to accomodate a large variety of field sizes and implementations;
• it is a pure source code library, to be included and compiled in the user's software. Its build system is only used for tests and benchmarks.

Goals

Design

Using FFLAS-FFPACK.

• Copying and Licence.
• Tutorial. This is a brief introduction to FFLAS-FFPACK capabilities.
• Configuring and Installing FFLAS-FFPACK. Explains how to configure/install from sources or from the latest svn version.
• Architecture of the library.. Describes how FFLAS-FFPACK is organized
• Documentation for Users. If everything around is blue, then you are reading the lighter, user-oriented, documentation.
• Documentation for Developers. If everything around is green, then you can get to everything (not necessarily yet) documented.
