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 ...

The new version of AlphaZero discovered a faster way to do matrix multiplication, a core problem in computing that affects thousands of everyday computer tasks. DeepMind has used its board-game ...

Computer scientists are a demanding bunch. For them, it’s not enough to get the right answer to a problem — the goal, almost always, is to get the answer as efficiently as possible. Take the act of ...

Multiplying the content of two x-y matrices together for screen rendering and AI processing. Matrix multiplication provides a series of fast multiply and add operations in parallel, and it is built ...

Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, leading to the largest improvement in matrix multiplication efficiency ...

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 ...
