1 Objectives
A dense matrix is a matrix in which almost all matrix entries are non-zero. On the other hand, a sparse
matrix contains entries that are mostly zero. In this assignment, you will implement the Strassen’s algorithm
for multiplying two dense square matrices. With regular matrix multiplication, you can use three nested
loops and directly compute the product. The complexity of regular matrix multiplication is O(n3) where n
is the size of the square matrices that are being multiplied. As the size of the matrices grow, the processing
power required for computations also increases in a cubic manner. Amongst all arithmetic operations,
multiplication is the most intensive and expensive operation. The Strassen’s algorithm was proposed by
Volker Strassen in the 1960s in an attempt to make dense matrix multiplication more efficient (i.e. entails less
multiplication operations). This algorithm has been proven to be more efficient than regular multiplication
and has an efficiency of approximately O(n2.8). Although many more efficient algorithms for dense matrix
multiplication have been proposed at recent times, we will focus on implementing the Strassen’s algorithm
for this assignment.
2 Strassen’s Algorithm
Following are assumptions made about the two matrices (A and B) which are operands of the dense matrix
multiplication operation:
Both are square matrices with size 2n x 2n (i.e. A ∈ R2nx2n, B ∈ R2nx2n)
Almost all entries in both matrices are non-zero
Since both matrices A and B are square matrices with size 2n x 2n, these can be divided into four equal
blocks as follows:
Suppose that the size of A is 4 x 4. Then all sub-matrices A0,0, A0,1, A1,0, A1,1, are 2 by 2 equally sized
blocks as illustrated in the following:
a0,0 a0,1 a0,2 a0,3
a1,0 a1,1 a1,2 a1,3
a2,0 a2,1 a2,2 a2,3
a3,0 a3,1 a3,2 a3,3
Sub-matrices of B which are B0,0, B0,1, B1,0, B1,1, can also be computed in a similar manner. Multiplying
matrices A and B results in matrix C.
Following are the set of computations performed when regular matrix multiplication is used to compute C:
C0,0 = A0,0B0,0 + A0,1B1,0
1
C0,1 = A0,0B0,1 + A0,1B1,1
C1,0 = A1,0B0,0 + A1,1B1,0
C1,1 = A1,0B0,1 + A1,1B1,1
As you can observe from the above, the computation of C via regular multiplication has required 8 multiplications
for each matrix block. With the Strassen’s algorithm, only 7 multiplications will be required. In an
implementation of the Strassen’s algorithm, it is necessary to first compute 7 matrices M0 to M6 as follows:
M0 = (A0,0 + A1,1)(B0,0 + B1,1)
M1 = (A1,0 + A1,1)B0,0
M2 = A0,0(B0,1 B1,1)
M3 = A1,1(B1,0 B0,0)
M4 = (A0,0 + A0,1)B1,1
M5 = (A1,0 A0,0)(B0,0 + B0,1)
M6 = (A0,1 A1,1)(B1,0 + B1,1)
As you can observe from the above, there are a total of 7 matrix multiplication operations performed to
compute the above set of matrices. These matrices can be combined to obtain the resultant matrix C via
addition and subtraction operations as follows:
C0,0 = M0 + M3 M4 + M6
C0,1 = M2 + M4
C1,0 = M1 + M3
C1,1 = M0 M1 + M2 + M5
It is clear from the above that although fewer multiplication operations are required for the Strassen’s
algorithm in comparison to the regular multiplication method, more addition and subtraction operations are
necessary. However, since multiplication operations are more expensive than addition or subtraction, the
Strassen’s algorithm results in being more efficient than regular matrix multiplication.
The Strassen’s algorithm outlined above can be implemented recursively. Multiplications that are required
to compute matrices M0 . . . M6 are also dense matrix multiplications. In order to compute these
matrices, the dense multiplication function can be called recursively. At each recursive call, the size of the
matrices that are multiplied is halved. For instance, suppose that the size of A and B is n x n. Matrix M0 is
computed by multiplying matrices that are half the size of the original set of matrices passed into the recursive
function (i.e. size is n2xn2). The original problem is therefore halved and this simpler sub-problem is
of the same kind as the original multiplication problem. The base case of this multiplication problem occurs
when n = 1. At this point, two numbers (not matrices) are multiplied. Hence, the Strassen’s algorithm is a
perfect candidate for recursive implementation!
3 Implementation of the Strassen’s Algorithm
In order to implement the Strassen’s algorithm, you are required to expand and implement the following
functions:
public int[][] denseMatrixMult(int[][] A, int[][] B, int size)
public int[][] sum(int[][] A, int[][] B, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, intn)
public int[][] sub(int[][] A, int[][] B, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, int
n)
public void printMatrix(int n, int[][] A)
2
public int[][] readMatrix(String filename, int n) throws Exception
The first function implements the Strassen’s algorithm in a recursive manner (i.e. public int[][]
denseMatrixMult(int[][] A, int[][] B, int size)). All other functions serve as helper functions
for the recursive function. The first argument to denseMatrixMult is A which is a two-dimensional
array representing one dense matrix. B is a two-dimensional array representing the second dense matrix.
This function will return the two-dimensional integer resultant matrix C of the product of A and B via the
Strassen’s algorithm. n is the size of matrices A and B.
In order to compute matrices M0 . . . M6, you will use the sum and sub functions. For instance, to
compute M0, it is necessary to compute the sum of sub-matrices A0,0 + A1,1 and B0,0 + B1,1. To compute
the first term A0,0 + A1,1, you can call the function sum(A, A, 0, 0, n/2, n/2, n/2) where n is the
size of A. Similarly to compute the second term B0,0 + B1,1, you can call the function sum(B, B, 0, 0,
n/2, n/2, n/2). Results from these two summations are multiplied via a recursive call to the original
function. All remaining matrices M1 . . . M6 can be computed in a similar manner.
After matrices M0 . . . M6 are computed, these can be combined to obtain C0,0, C0,1, C1,0, C1,1. This
requires two nested loops (to add columns and rows of matrices).
4 Materials Provided
You will download content in the folder SE2205B-LabAssignment1.zip which contains two folders (code
and expOutput) onto your local workspace. Folder code contains a skeleton of function implementations
and declarations. Your task is to expand these functions appropriately in Assignment1.java as required
for implementation. Test.java evokes all the functions you will have implemented and is similar to the
file that will be used to test your implementations. Use Test.java file to test all your implementations.
matrix1.txt and matrix2.txt are sample files containing data that will be read by your program. Folder
expOutput contains outputs expected for the supplied data files matrix1.txt and matrix2.txt. Note
that we will NOT use the same sample files for grading your assignment. Do NOT change the name of
these files or functions.
5 Division of Assignment into Parts
Part 1: Initializing and Printing Matrices
In this part, function implementations of initMatrix and printMatrix in Assignment1.java file will
be tested. In the initMatrix function, a 2D array of size n will be initialized. printMatrix prints the
content of the 2D array represented by the reference A. This part will be tested by executing the program
with the commands:
javac Assignment1.java Test.java and
java Test 1
The output resulting from this part must match the content of file expOutput/part1.txt.
Part 2: Reading Matrix from Data File and Printing to the Console
In this part, function implementation of readMatrix in Assignment1.java file will be tested. The
readMatrix function will read the content of a data file called filename and store the content of this
file in a 2D array of size n. This array will then be returned by the function. This part will be tested by
executing the program with the commands:
javac Assignment1.java Test.java
java Test 2
The output resulting from this part must match the contents of the file Part2.txt.

Part 3: Adding and Subtracting Sub-Matrices
Here you will complete the implementation of two functions: sum and sub. Suppose that there are two
square matrices A and B of the same size. Suppose that these matrices are of size 8 (this can change).
The function sum will perform a matrix addition of two sub-matrices (one from matrix A and the other
from matrix B) of size n and return the reference to the added matrix. The sub-matrices are identified by
coordinates (xa, ya) and (xb, yb) which denote the indices at which a sub-matrix begins in the main matrix.
The arguments passed to these functions are A, B, xa, ya, xb, yb, n where A and B are references to
the main matrices. This part of the assignment will be tested via the following commands:
javac Assignment1.java Test.java
java Test 3 1
javac Assignment1.java Test.java
java Test 3 2
Outputs from these tests must match contents in Part3 1.txt and Part3 2.txt files resulting from the
provided matrix1.txt and matrix2.txt files.
Part 4: Recursive Dense Matrix Multiplication
In this part, you will implement the Strassen’s algorithm introduced in Section 2 by expanding the function
denseMatrixMult. To this function, two two-dimensional arrays matrix1 and matrix2 representing
two dense matrices and n which is the size of these square matrices are passed as arguments. This function
will return the resultant matrix. This part of the assignment will be tested via the following commands:
javac Assignment1.java Test.java
java Test 4
Outputs from these tests must match the contents of Part4.txt which is the result of multiplying matrices
obtained from the provided matrix1.txt and matrix2.txt files.
