>
> Recent experiments of wdivmm left (e.g., t(U) %*% (X/(U%*%t(V)+eps))) and
> right (e.g., (X/(U%*%t(V)+eps))%*%V) revealed severe performance issues of
> wdivmm left with increasing sparsity. While wdivmm right shows good
> multi-threading speedups of 9x-10x (with 12 physical cores), wdivmm left
> shows only a speedup of 3x.
> Cause: After detailed analysis, the cause was a high ratio of L3 cache misses
> on the output despite the existing cache-conscious blocking and
> column-block-wise parallelization. This is due to the row major sparse input
> X, where an input row Xi touches a single output row for wdivmm right, but
> potentially all output rows for wdivmm left.
