TOP: A Framework for Enabling Algorithmic Optimizations for Distance-Related Problems
Summary: TOP introduces a generic distance-abstraction and seven principles for applying triangle inequality to optimize distance-related algorithms. Using this framework, Triangular Optimizer auto-generates algorithms that match or surpass manually tuned designs, delivering up to 237× speedups (avg 2.5×). (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
