Research direction

Start at the a.dot(b) entry point and inspect how matrix-by-column operations currently relate to gemm and gemv. The issue does not name files or tests; first establish the relevant operation paths and memory-layout cases. Done means reaching a project decision about automatic selection versus explicit user choice, with the affected behavior and validation identified.

Description

enhancement

About picking the “gemm” vs “gemv” algorithm automatically for matrix × column:

In a.dot(b)? Anywhere else?

There are two competing concerns with this question:

  • The user knows their data and picks the operation they know they need
  • The library knows the memory layout cases and picks the best algorithm.
