For example, to multiply four-digit numbers, instead of needing 4 2 = 16 multiplications, Karatsuba's method gets away with only nine. When using his method, twice as many digits means only three ...

Mathematicians have reportedly discovered a new way of multiplying two numbers together. The new technique is for really large numbers, and if it passes a peer-review, could be the fastest ...

To this end, [Ken Shirriff] set about reverse engineering the 8086’s multiplication algorithm. [Ken]’s efforts were achieved by using die photos of the 8086 chip.

One week after DeepMind revealed an algorithm for multiplying numbers more efficiently, researchers have an even better way to carry out the task By Matthew Sparkes 13 October 2022 ...

With Deep Reinforcement Learning, DeepMind has discovered an algorithm no human thought of. It is supposed to significantly accelerate matrix multiplication.
