mxm

mxm, a Python code which sets up a matrix-matrix multiplication problem A = B * C, and carries it out using

• Nested DO I, J, K loops;
• Nested DO I, K, J loops;
• Nested DO J, I, K loops;
• Nested DO J, K, I loops;
• Nested DO K, I, J loops;
• Nested DO K, J, I loops;
• the numpy matmul() function: A = np.matmul ( B, C );

The user is allowed to specify N1, N2, and N3, which define the matrix sizes.

Usage:

mxm n1 n2 n3

• n1 is the number of rows in B.
• n2 is the number of columns in B and rows in C.
• n3 is the number of columns in C;
