Fast matrix multiplication without APA-algorithms

Matrix Multiplication, Trilinear Decompositions, APA Algorithms, and Summation

Matrix multiplication (hereafter we use the acronym MM) is among the most fundamental operations of modern computations. The efficiency of its performance depends on various factors, in particular vectorization, data movement and arithmetic complexity of the computations, but here we focus just on the study of the arithmetic cost and the impact of this study on other areas of modern computing. ...

Fast Matrix Multiplication Algorithms on Mimd Architectures

Sequential fast matrix multiplication algorithms of Strassen and Winograd are studied; the complexity bound given by Strassen is improved. These algorithms are parallelized on MIMD distributed memory architectures of ring and torus topologies; a generalization to a hyper-torus is also given. Complexity and efficiency are analyzed and good asymptotic behaviour is proved. These new parallel algor...

Fast Matrix Multiplication

We give an overview of the history of fast algorithms for matrix multiplication. Along the way, we look at some other fundamental problems in algebraic complexity like polynomial evaluation. This exposition is self-contained. To make it accessible to a broad audience, we only assume a minimal mathematical background: basic linear algebra, familiarity with polynomials in several variables over r...

Fast matrix multiplication

Improving the numerical stability of fast matrix multiplication algorithms

Fast algorithms for matrix multiplication, namely those that perform asymptotically fewer scalar operations than the classical algorithm, have been considered primarily of theoretical interest. Apart from Strassen’s original algorithm, few fast algorithms have been efficiently implemented or used in practical applications. However, there exist many practical alternatives to Strassen’s algorithm...
