Could you upload your mw file so that we can reproduce the problem? Just use the green up-arrow symbol in the editor. Alternatively, post the input as text so that one can use copy&paste.

The programs you listed are hardware-specific low-level tools, and closer to OS utilities. Again, usual applications such as Maple have no way of telling the percentage of CPU utilization, and for good reasons, I think.

Of course, the total load of your machine will affect timings. But that's nothing specific to Maple.

@rightClick Also note that it is possible to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Maple on the same machine. On Windows, the former will then live in the "Programs (x86)" tree, and its desktop icons will carry an extra label. That should be the easiest solution if you need 32-bit Excel. No need to uninstall 64-bit Maple.

When I execute your worksheet, your outputs are replaced by the correct results, on both systems I tried.

As for the packages on Linux, I meant: did you install any extra packages in Maple on your Linux system - as opposed to your Windows system? These could (inadvertently or not) affect Maple library commands such as int. Typically, Maple's libname path variable is then extended in the user's .mapleinit file.

Sorry if that was misleading. ;-)

Otherwise, I tend to say either your installation is broken (then contact technical support or your local reseller, perhaps with your Maple 15 / 15.01 Install Log files attached) - or Xubuntu 12.04 produces some strange side effect. This platform is not officially supported by Maple 15, and has not been tested.

@Kazzy290690 That's not possible in MATLAB, I'm afraid. It handles matrices of numbers only. Better try in Maple; the memory problem might be solvable, depending on the matrix dimensions and specific polynomials. Sometimes it is possible to start with a sequence of smaller examples and then derive properties of the general solution.

The code you posted is incomplete, so I'm getting a different (but plausible) error message from GlobalSolve. As an alternative to posting commands, you can upload a worksheet.

What is known about the b[j] and c[j] variables?

Also, which Maple/GOT version are you running?

@viraghj I have a rather old system (Fedora Core 3 on a Dual Opteron machine, made in 2004) at home, with Maple 10 - 15 on it, but I certainly cannot recommend that distribution for real work, as it has massive bugs. In any case, Maple has no problems with log[2](8) on that machine. So maybe Fedora 16 broke some libraries. Just a guess.

@PatrickT Since Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will still be supported in Maple 16, chances are that Ubuntu 10.10 (and 11.04 for that matter) will work as well. No warranties, however.

@acer Oh yes, good points - thanks for the clarification!

Why do you think it's "crazy"?
