To multiply two numbers by hand takes a few steps but it's something we're taught in school. When dealing with big numbers, really big numbers, we need to a quicker way to do things.

Mathematicians have reportedly discovered a new way of multiplying two numbers together. The new technique is for really large numbers, and if it passes a peer-review, could be the fastest ...

The way you learned to multiply works, but computers employ a faster algorithm.

The multiplication algorithm in question takes advantage of a discovery that was the first advance in multiplication made in thousands of years. The traditional grade-school method for multiplication ...

To help you understand the algorithm, the video shows a simple two-digit by two-digit multiplication. You can see that the first and last digits are essentially the result of one multiplication.

The algorithm is able to re-discover older matrix multiplication algorithms and improve upon its own to discover newer and faster algorithms. “AlphaTensor is the first AI system for discovering novel, ...

Karatsuba’s divide-and-conquer multiplication algorithm takes advantage of this saving. Consider a multiplication algorithm that parallels the way multiplication of complex numbers works.

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