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 ...

Matrix multiplication is at the heart of many machine learning breakthroughs, and it just got faster—twice. Last week, DeepMind announced it discovered a more efficient way to perform matrix ...

The new version of AlphaZero discovered a faster way to do matrix multiplication, a core problem in computing that affects thousands of everyday computer tasks. DeepMind has used its board-game ...

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.

Distributed computing has markedly advanced the efficiency and reliability of complex numerical tasks, particularly matrix multiplication, which is central to numerous computational applications from ...

Nearly all big science, machine learning, neural network, and machine vision applications employ algorithms that involve large matrix-matrix multiplication. But multiplying large matrices pushes the ...
