If you have the matlab communications toolbox, one nasty example for
matlab I like is
N=5; for n=100:100:500, t=cputime(); inv(gf(randint(n,n,2^N), N));
cputime() - t, end
try this with octave-forge forges communications toolbox. And this is a
realistic thing to want to do in communications i you deal with LDPC codes.
