Re:Matrix Multiplication Using Only Addition by kragen on Saturday July 08, 2023 @09:50PM (#36650711)
this is not correct

probably it would improve the paper to remove the russian-peasant-multiplication references entirely, or reduce them to a throwaway aside in one place

in part this is because you surely won't be the last person careless enough to make this obvious error

but also it's because russian-peasant multiplication is a totally normal way for hardware multipliers to work, and the main content of the paper is totally decoupled from whether the final multiplication at the end of all the reductions are done with russian-peasant multiplication or (as would probably be a better idea) something like a dadda multiplier or a booth multiplier
