Can you give us a clue as to what sort of 8-by-8 matrix you're trying to work with? I'm finding that Mathematica 6 obtains MatrixRank for RandomReal[{-10,10}] or RandomInteger[{0,100}] entries in essentially no time at all, i.e., 0. or on the order of 10^{-17}.

Using my notebook, 1Gb RAM and 1.73GHz with v5.1, I get the answer in a few seconds. When I installed v6 and ran the same nb file I never got an answer even after running for 1 hour. > > Is there a bug in v6? > > If others are also running v6 I would be interested in getting in touch to see if other users have the same experience. If you are running on a 64 bit machine I would really like to see if that solves the problem and can give an answer with v6. > > Any comments are very welcome! > > Thanks > > Jon > -- Murray Eisenberg murray at math.umass.edu Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
