abstract = "In the past two decades, some major efforts have been made to reduce exact (e.g. integer, rational, polynomial) linear
algebra problems to matrix multiplication in order to provide algorithms with optimal asymptotic complexity. To provide
efficient implementations of such algorithms one need to be careful with the underlying arithmetic. It is well known
that modular techniques such as the Chinese remainder algorithm or the $p$-adic lifting allow very good practical
performance, especially when word size arithmetic are used. Therefore, finite field arithmetic becomes an important
core for efficient exact linear algebra libraries. In this paper, we study high performance implementations of basic
linear algebra routines over word size prime fields: specially the matrix multiplication; our goal being to provide an
exact alternate to the numerical BLAS library. We show that this is made possible by a careful combination of numerical
computations and asymptotically faster algorithms. Our kernel has several symbolic linear algebra applications enabled
by diverse matrix multiplication reductions: symbolic triangularization, system solving, determinant and matrix inverse
implementations are thus studied",
