New CUDA implementation speeds up optimal transport calculations on GPUs

Researchers have developed FastSinkhorn, a new CUDA implementation for the Sinkhorn algorithm used in optimal transport computations. This method operates entirely in the log-domain, ensuring numerical stability even with very small regularization parameters where other methods fail. Benchmarks show FastSinkhorn achieves significant speedups over existing libraries like POT and PyTorch, while using minimal GPU memory. AI
