title: 'cafast: Fast Companions to the ''CAs'' Package for Covering Arrays'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Compiled implementations and generalizations of selected functions of the
  'CAs' package by Ulrike Groemping for covering arrays. The package provides a C
  version of the search for the largest set of rows that can be made constant by permuting
  symbols, the power construction of Colbourn and Torres-Jimenez (2010) <https://doi.org/10.1090/conm/523/10309>
  for any strength, number of columns and number of levels, a counting kernel that
  tabulates value tuples for every set of t columns, and fast versions of the flexible-value
  tools and of the randomized post-optimization of Nayeri, Colbourn and Konjevod (2013)
  <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejc.2012.07.017>. Each function was tested against its
  'CAs' counterpart, and the remaining differences are documented.
