Algorithm description

Algorithm symmetries

The following group of 8 isotropies acts as a permutation group on algorithm tensor representation:

These encodings are given in compressed text format using the maple computer algebra system. In each cases, the last line could be understood as a description of the encoding with respect to classical matrix multiplication algorithm. As these outputs are structured, one can construct easily a parser to its favorite format using the maple documentation without this software.
