Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

Solving many scientific and technical applications entails the use of matrix multiplies somewhere in the algorithm and thus the computer code. With today’s multicore CPUs, proper use of complier ...

A recent paper set the fastest record for multiplying two matrices. But it also marks the end of the line for a method researchers have relied on for decades to make improvements. For computer ...

Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, leading to the largest improvement in matrix multiplication efficiency ...

Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster than ever before by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, reports Quanta Magazine. This could eventually ...
