What do encrypted messages, recognizing speech commands and running simulations to predict the weather have in common? They all rely on matrix multiplication for accurate calculations. DeepMind, an ...

By transforming operands into a Montgomery domain, these algorithms enable efficient modular multiplication and exponentiation, which are crucial for public-key cryptosystems.

AI engineers develop an algorithm that will replace floating-point multiplication with integer addition to make AI processing more efficient.

Even for computers, the long multiplication algorithm, defined as n to the power of, could reportedly take months if each number had a billion digits.

DeepMind breaks 50-year math record using AI; new record falls a week later AlphaTensor discovers better algorithms for matrix math, inspiring another improvement from afar.

While the box method is essentially the same as the standard algorithm, it does a much nicer job of illustrating what's going on in a multiple-digit multiplication problem. 23 times 7 really just ...
