+\section{Third example: matrix-matrix multiplication}
+\label{ch2:3ex}

+
+Matrix-matrix multiplication is an operation  which is quite easy to parallelize
+with a GPU. If we consider that  a matrix is represented using a two dimensional
+array,  A[i][j] represents  the  the element  of  the $i^{th}$  row  and of  the
+$j^{th}$ column. In many case, it is easier to manipulate 1D array instead of 2D
+array.   With Cuda,  even if  it is  possible to  manipulate 2D  arrays,  in the
+following we  present an example  based on 1D  array. For sake of  simplicity we
+consider  we  have  a  squared  matrix  of size  \texttt{size}.  So  with  a  1D
+array, \texttt{A[i*size+j]} allows  us to access to the  element of the $i^{th}$
+row and of the $j^{th}$ column.
+
+In sequential the matrix multiplication is performed using three loops. Supposing that $A$, $B$ represent two square matrices, the result of the multiplication of $A \times B$ is

+Intel Xeon E31245 at 3.30GHz, it takes 2465ms without any parallelization (using
+only one  core). Consequently the  speed up between  the CPU and GPU  version is
+about 65 which is very good regarding the difficulty of parallelizing this code.
