Bit-packing allows 64-bit machine words to process 64 elements in parallel because addition in is a logical XOR and multiplication is a logical AND . The library is used in cryptanalysis for solving

The library is used in cryptanalysis for solving dense linear systems of boolean equations, such as those found in integer factorization and attacks on public-key cryptosystems. The source code and documentation are available on the M4RI GitHub repository .

The reference most likely refers to the academic work and implementation of the M4RI library , which focuses on fast arithmetic for dense matrices over the finite field

The name "M4RI" stands for , an algorithm derived from the "Method of the Four Russians" multiplication (M4RM). Key Papers Related to M4RI
