Abstract

In order to minimize the number of page fetches required when multiplying matrices occupying many pages of virtual storage, we consider adapting Strassen-like recursive methods to a paging environment. An algorithm with a theoretically better rate of growth results. Also presented is an algorithm for efficiently converting matrices from row storage form to sub-matrix storage form, thus making more accessible the benefits of algorithms based on sub-matrix storage form which were presented in [5].
