helper_functions.py

contains a set of common functions that are imported by other python programs.

n-gen-bcf.py

(Usage: ./n-gen-bcf.py Y) generates negative binary cubic forms. This is not a parallelized implementation and requires significant memory. For example, Y=100B takes about 80% of 256G RAM and about 200 minutes on a 64 CPU machine (m4.16xlarge). Usage: ./n-gen-bcf.py

p-gen-bcf.py

(Usage: ./p-gen-bcf Y processors TEMP_FOLDER) generates positive binary cubic forms. This is a parallelized implementation that can use multiple cores. Multiple files are generated and then concatenated for the final result.
