A system and method for optimizing the performance of a graphics processing unit (GPU) for processing and execution of general matrix operations such that the operations are accelerated and optimized. The system and method describes the layouts of operands and results in graphics memory, as well as partitioning the processes into a sequence of passes through a macro step. Specifically, operands are placed in memory in a pattern, results are written into memory in a pattern appropriate for use as operands in a later pass, data sets are partitioned to insure that each pass fits into fixed sized memory, and the execution model incorporates generally reusable macro steps for use in multiple passes. These features enable greater efficiency and speed in processing and executing general matrix operations.
