I don't understand the naming and notation of this article because the author is assuming context that I don't have.

Section baseline: What are N, M, K? 3 matrices or? Laid out as a flat array, or what? `c[m * N + n] += a[m * K + k] * b[k * N + n];`, ah, apparently a b and c are the matrices? How does this work?

Section body: What is the mathy "C′=αC+A⋅B"? derivative of a constant is the angle times the constant plus the dot product of A and B???

Please, if you write a public blog post, use your head. Not everybody will understand your terse notes.




Not to be too snarky, but perhaps the onus is on you to do some homework if you want to understand a niche article for which you lack context?

Laying out matrices like that is pretty standard, especially for a post about vectorization.


you're probably right, but at least a small prelude explaining the single character variable names would not be out of place.
