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 ...

New lower values for p get discovered all the time (maybe once a year). It is conjectured that they will approach 2.0 without ever getting quite to it. Somehow Quanta Mag heard about the new result ...

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 ...

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 ...

I was in a meeting last week raging about the stupidity of nvidia's current valuation. They fell into this completely by accident, TWICE (crypto and now LLMs). There is no guarantee that GPUs will be ...

A new technical paper titled “Scalable MatMul-free Language Modeling” was published by UC Santa Cruz, Soochow University, UC Davis, and LuxiTech. “Matrix multiplication (MatMul) typically dominates ...
