  A task-based formulation of Scalable Universal Matrix Multiplication
Algorithm (SUMMA), a popular algorithm for matrix multiplication (MM), is
applied to the multiplication of hierarchy-free, rank-structured matrices that
appear in the domain of quantum chemistry (QC). The novel features of our
formulation are: (1) concurrent scheduling of multiple SUMMA iterations, and
(2) fine-grained task-based composition. These features make it tolerant of the
load imbalance due to the irregular matrix structure and eliminate all
artifactual sources of global synchronization.Scalability of iterative
computation of square-root inverse of block-rank-sparse QC matrices is
demonstrated; for full-rank (dense) matrices the performance of our SUMMA
formulation usually exceeds that of the state-of-the-art dense MM
implementations (ScaLAPACK and Cyclops Tensor Framework).
