A novel AI-acceleration paper presents a method to optimize sparse matrix multiplication for machine learning models, particularly focusing on structured sparsity. Structured sparsity involves a ...

Optical computing uses photons instead of electrons to perform computations, which can significantly increase the speed and energy efficiency of computations by overcoming the inherent limitations of ...

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 ...

Photonics is promising to handle extensive vector multiplications in AI applications. Scientists in China have promoted a programmable and reconfigurable photonic linear vector machine named SUANPAN, ...

A recent paper set the fastest record for multiplying two matrices. But it also marks the end of the line for a method researchers have relied on for decades to make improvements. For computer ...

Over the last few issues, we've been talking about the math entity called a matrix. I've given examples of how matrices are useful and how matrix algebra can simplify complicated problems. A messy ...
