Benchmarks for matrices

This file has many functions for computing timing benchmarks of various methods for random matrices with given bounds for the entries. The systems supported are Sage and Magma.

The basic command syntax is as follows:

sage: import sage.matrix.benchmark as b
sage: print("starting"); import sys; sys.stdout.flush(); b.report([b.det_ZZ], 'Test', systems=['sage'])
