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 ...

Matrix multiplication is at the heart of many machine learning breakthroughs, and it just got faster—twice. Last week, DeepMind announced it discovered a more efficient way to perform matrix ...

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 ...

With AlphaTensor, DeepMind Technologies has presented an AI system that is supposed to independently find novel, efficient and provably correct algorithms for complex mathematical tasks. AlphaTensor ...

There has been an ever-growing demand for artificial intelligence and fifth-generation communications globally, resulting in very large computing power and memory requirements. The slowing down or ...

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 ...

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 ...
