Need help understanding if fflas can perform F_2 matrix multiplication without converting to float

[bjacob]

Hi, I'm looking for the fastest possible linear algebra over F_2, I only need matrix multiplication and LU decomposition.
I'm trying to assess if I should use fflas-ffpack, but looking at source code,
https://github.com/linbox-team/fflas-ffpack/blob/master/fflas-ffpack/fflas/fflas_fgemm.inl ,
it seems to be converting the matrix from F_2 to float?

Look to M4RI for fast dense matrix multiply over F2.
