Linear algebra in MPQS

[R1zZ1]

Hi all, I'm an italian student and I need your support.

I'm implementing MPQS with GMP, the implemented sieving algorithm works fine and I obtain the sparse matrix representing the good relations that I can use to solve the linear algebra and find factors.

My problem is just to solve the linear algebra. I need a C++ implementation or Pari/GP function that find these solutions using gaussian elimination or lanczos (faster, right?).

Thx in advance!

I'll also appreciate if you indicate me a C++ library with a function that solves equations system over Z_2.

Lidia has a function named solve() but i am not sure that it works with sparse matrix modulo 2 and gives me a valid solution.

bye

Lanczos is much faster than Gauss elimination.

There are several MPQS implementations linked to the sticky at the top of the factoring forum; they all have to solve this problem, and there's plenty of code to browse.
