Accelerated Multiple Precision Matrix Multiplication using Strassen's Algorithm and Winograd's Variant

Abstract

The Strassen algorithm and Winograd's variant accelerate matrix multiplication by using fewer arithmetic operations than standard matrix multiplication. Although many papers have been published to accelerate single- as well as double-precision matrix multiplication by using these algorithms, no research to date has been undertaken to accelerate multiple precision matrix multiplication. In this paper, we propose a multiple precision matrix multiplication program for matrices of any size and test its performance. We also reveal special properties of our program through its application to LU decomposition.
