We can further optimize matrix multiplications by multiplying them in a specific order. We can find this order using Dynamic Programming, as described in CS170. More information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_chain_multiplication

Could this be optimized through the use of Fast Fourier Transform? Seems like this would help improve performance for matrix multiplications.

Good question @Andrew; general matrices, unfortunately, do not have the nice recursive structure that the Fourier transform matrix does, thus explaining all the GPU and matrix acceleration efforts to speed up matrix multiplication.
