In this bimonthly feature, HPCwire highlights newly published research in the high-performance computing community and related domains. From parallel programming to exascale to quantum computing, the details are here. Linear algebra is a common application in big data and computational science on HPC. These operations are well-optimized when handling regularly shaped matrix inputs with GPUs, but comparatively little literature has discussed irregularly shaped matrix inputs with GPUs. In this paper (written by a team from the University of Alabama, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the University of California, Riverside, and the University of Sydney), the authors propose two matrix-matrix multiplication algorithms for irregularly shaped inputs on GPUs.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
