Title: Asma Khan: Inventor in Matrix Multiplication

Introduction

Asma Khan is an inventor based in Tustin, California, and is associated with Xcelerium Inc. Her work includes a patented system for carrying out variable-precision matrix multiplication with low-precision digit matrix multipliers.

Latest Patents

Khan is named on 1 patent: “System and Method for Implementing Variable-Precision Matrix Multiplication Using Low-Precision Digit Matrix Multiplier.” The invention divides large matrices into fixed-size blocks and further decomposes those blocks into fixed-precision digit submatrices. The submatrices are multiplied individually, then scaled and accumulated to perform variable-precision matrix multiplication.

The system uses a systolic array of block matrix multipliers, each composed of dot product units, to support larger matrix operations while limiting increases in latency and wiring congestion. It also uses unsigned digit matrix multipliers and adjusts for signed multiplication through row and column sums of the input matrices.

Career Highlights

Khan’s patent describes an approach to efficient matrix computation that combines matrix blocking, digit-level decomposition, and accumulation. The design aims to support matrices of different dimensions without substantially increasing computational latency or wiring demands.
