So when it comes to measuring the efficiency of a multiplication algorithm, it’s the small multiplications that concern us most. Let’s revisit our example, 25 × 63, with efficiency in mind. In order ...

The second (and much more difficult) part of their conjecture is that N log (N) should be the fundamental speed limit—that no possible multiplication algorithm could do better than this.

To help you understand the algorithm, the video shows a simple two-digit by two-digit multiplication. You can see that the first and last digits are essentially the result of one multiplication.

Even more important, the multiplication algorithm is part of a class of nearly ubiquitous algorithms in computer science. Gidney expects that his new technique will allow quantum computers to ...

The ancient Egyptians created an algorithm to multiply two numbers without requiring a multiplication table, and Greek mathematician Euclid described an algorithm to compute the greatest common ...

What do encrypted messages, recognizing speech commands and running simulations to predict the weather have in common? They all rely on matrix multiplication for accurate calculations. DeepMind, an ...

The researchers turned the task of discovering new matrix multiplication algorithms into a game dubbed TensorGame. To win the game, an AI system must complete a complex mathematical operation as a ...

A new research paper titled “Discovering faster matrix multiplication algorithms with reinforcement learning” was published by researchers at DeepMind. “Here we report a deep reinforcement learning ...
