History
#1 Updated by John Abbott over 9 years ago
I tried to run MakeSet
on a list of about 7000 matrices (2x2), most of which were different. I stopped CoCoA after about 10 minutes.
MakeSet
is a simple routine written in CoCoA-5 language.
Maintaining generality and making it significantly faster will not be easy, I fear.
