People tend to obsess over making computer software faster. You can, of course, just crank up the clock speed and add more processors, but often the most powerful way to make something faster is to ...

This summer, battle lines were drawn over a simple math problem: 8 ÷ 2(2 + 2) = ? If you divide 8 by 2 first, you get 16, but if you multiply 2 by (2 + 2) first, you get 1. So, which answer is right?

Abstract: We present CARMA, the first implementation of a communication-avoiding parallel rectangular matrix multiplication algorithm, attaining significant speedups over both MKL and ScaLAPACK.

Discovering faster algorithms for matrix multiplication remains a key pursuit in computer science and numerical linear algebra. Since the pioneering contributions of Strassen and Winograd in the late ...

With AlphaTensor, DeepMind Technologies has presented an AI system that is supposed to independently find novel, efficient and provably correct algorithms for complex mathematical tasks. AlphaTensor ...
