High-performance matrix multiplication remains a cornerstone of numerical computing, underpinning a wide array of applications from scientific simulations to machine learning. Researchers ...

For example, multiplying two 4×4 matrices together using a traditional schoolroom method would take 64 multiplications, while Strassen's algorithm can perform the same feat in 49 multiplications.

Oct 06, 2022 11:20:00 The strongest shogi AI reaches new ground, DeepMind's AI 'AlphaTensor' succeeds in improving the matrix multiplication algorithm that has been stagnant for over 50 years ...

Perfecting that algorithm has been the key to breakthroughs in matrix multiplication efficiency over the past century—even before computers entered the picture.
