Compressed Linear Algebra for Large-Scale Machine Learning

Summary: CLA applies database-style compression to matrices and executes matrix-vector products directly on compressed data. Novel column compression, cache-conscious operators, and a sampling-based scheme yield near-uncompressed performance with substantial memory savings. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
