Theoretical Methods for Optimizing Structured Array Computations

Abstract

Structured operations on tensors, such as convolutions, dense linear algebra, and stencil operations, have become increasingly important in machine learning, numerical linear algebra, and many other domains. We present an overview of algorithms for mapping such problems onto processors (including domain-specific accelerators) in a communication-efficient manner, using lower bounds as proof of their optimality.

Based on joint work with James Demmel, Ilie Garbacea, Qijing Huang, Sophia Shao, and many others.
