Dear GAP-forum,

does anybody know what hardware resources are necessary to compute
normalized units group of group algebra of group of order 32 over GF(2),
using the function NormalizedUnitsGroupRing ?

I have tried to do this under Linux on Pentium-166 with RAM 32 Mb and
swap partition of 50 Mb, and even with "-30m" parameter this calculation
was terminated with message like "cannot allocate workspace" after
about 5 minutes of work.

As for the case of order 16, then there was no problem with such task.

Sincerely yours,
Alexander B. Konovalov,
