Matmuls (and GEMM) are a hardware-friendly way to stuff a lot of FLOPS into an operation. They also happen to be really useful as a constant-step discrete version of applying a mapping to a 1D scalar field.

I've mentioned it before, but I'd love for sparse operations to be more widespread in HPC hardware and software.
