Distributed computing has markedly advanced the efficiency and reliability of complex numerical tasks, particularly matrix multiplication, which is central to numerous computational applications from ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

I have the sense that some perspective is missing here. People should remember that every Boomer didn't spring wholly evil from the mind of a mid-1940's supervillain. The father figures of the Boomers ...
