Anyone with access to Maple?

[xilman]

I've been sent some Maple code. Unfortunately I don't have Maple on any immediately accessible machines. So what I've got is some almost impenetrable XML.

Can anyone help? Ideal would be interactive ssh access to a system where I could send X11 back here but most any method of being able to display the code and its output would be valuable, even if it's as crude as a series of screenshots.

I have access to maple at uni and can run something for you if necessary
Unfortunately today is the last day of term so I won't be able to until ~7th May

Maple? they are a species of tree that live OUTSIDE. The OUTSIDE is full of magical things, like color, smell and WILD thing. Sometimes, you can meet civilised thing.. those are called REAL PEOPLE.... wait what?
okay... i'll lay off my 2 litter coke....

Yes, they live in the big room, where there's an excessively bright light set in a blue ceiling when people are trying to sleep, and dim security lights in normal working hours

I thought the whole point of litters was to lie on them?

In which version was the Maple code written?

I don't know.

The XML begins

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Worksheet>
<Version major="14" minor="1"/>
<Label-Scheme value="2" prefix=""/>
<View-Properties presentation="true"></View-Properties>

if that helps.

Major version 14, minor version 1 sounds like it would be Maple 14.1. I believe the latest release is Maple 16, so this was created probably in the last couple of years.

That's consistent with what I know about the code. I'm discussing the contents of a paper published in 2010. Either I've found a bug in the algorithm or I've made an error in my implementation. I've sent the person concerned my C/GMP code and he's sent me his Maple.

The paper concerned is this one:

Highly parallel modular multiplication in the residue number system using sum of residues reduction by Braden J. Phillips, Yinan Kong & Zhining Lim.
DOI: 10.1007/s00200-010-0124-2

The ultimate aim is to write a multiprecision integer arithmetic package suitable for SIMT / SIMD machines. RNS has some powerful advantages over positional representation but also has some severe disadvantages. In particular, comparisons for other than equality/inequality and division/remainder are very hard. The paper concerned describes a new (to me anyway) way of performing a*b%c in RNS arithmetic. At first sight it looks to be better than the traditional (Bajard and variants) algorithm.

Scurrilous and scandalous I know, but you could always check this out - on the QT of course

Interesting.

However, I'm cursed with a (possibly uncommon) sense of morality.
