Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster than ever before by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, reports Quanta Magazine. This could eventually ...

Nearly all big science, machine learning, neural network, and machine vision applications employ algorithms that involve large matrix-matrix multiplication. But multiplying large matrices pushes the ...
