On Efficient Large Sparse Matrix Chain Multiplication
Summary: Novel row-wise sparsity estimator (RS-estimator) for large sparse matrix chains, exploiting matrix structure to get efficient, accurate, theoretically guaranteed intermediate-density estimates. Uses these estimates to choose multiplication order and a parallel SMCM algorithm, yielding up to 1000x speedups on real graph matrices. (summarized by gpt-5.4-mini on May 24 2026)
