Meta-ticket: Use new features from FLINT 2.x, 3.x

Open mkoeppe opened this issue 5 years ago • 11 comments

As of Sage 10.4, Sage ships FLINT 3.0.1 (update to 3.1.3 in #37203), accepts system FLINT >= 3.0.

Many of the features added in the FLINT 2.x and 3.x series are so far unused in Sage.

Tickets/features:

  • #8939
  • #16429
  • #16664
  • #20004
  • #29894
  • #31525
  • #32175
  • #31548 Use FLINT's nmod_mat_t for matrices mod n.
  • #31666 very fast multi-variate polynomials - use them for Sage polynomial rings and perhaps in sage.tensor.modules
  • #36433

For creating the bindings to the new FLINT functions, there is a potential for synergy with https://github.com/fredrik-johansson/python-flint; the SymPy developers have announced (2021) that they plan to use python-flint.

Sage development has entered the release candidate phase for 9.3. Setting a new milestone for this ticket based on a cursory review of ticket status, priority, and last modification date.
