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.
The most widely used matrix-matrix multiplication routine is GEMM (GEneral Matrix Multiplication) from the BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines) library. And these days it can be found being used in ...
Large language models such as ChaptGPT have proven to be able to produce remarkably intelligent results, but the energy and monetary costs associated with running these massive algorithms is sky high.
