The paper is about integer multiplication, not float

discuss

order

Why would that matter? I understood the point was to speed up matrix multiplication by doing the adds and multiplies in a different order. Shouldn't matter whether the datatype is int, float, complex, whatever.

One can use this techniques to optimize the multiplier inside the FP FMA unit. However this cannot be used to multiply two floating point numbers as FP arithmetic is not associative.
