Multiplying sparse matrices is slow ----------------------------------- Key: MATH-248 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-248 Project: Commons Math Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Christian Semrau Priority: Minor
The multiplication of sparse real matrices is very slow compared to real matrices: Ten times as slow for size 200, four times as slow for size 400. The time is independent of the number of nonzero entries, because the general algorithm inherited from AbstractRealMatrix is used. I suggest using a specialized multiplication algorithm for matrices that are "sparse enough", walking only over the nonzero entries in one of the matrices. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
