In this assignment, I optimized the naive matrix multiplication in two ways, using cache blocks and using parallel working threads.
The process was rather simple, using tiled memory in the first case to multiply smaller matrices, and in the end, achieve the full multiplication. While for parallelization, OpenMP was used, where the operation is split into threads that do different parts of the multiplication at the same time, allowing for higher gain in performance.
The challenge was to find the small things that could lead to reduced performance, such as unnecessary castings, unoptimized memory access etc.
