The algorithm is exact for every input length and disproves the $n\log n$ optimality conjecture of Sch\"onhage and Strassen in this model. \end{abstract} \tableofcontents \clearpage \input{sections/00-introduction.tex} \input{sections/02-streams.tex} \input{sections/03-motifs.tex} \input{sections/04-swap.tex} \input{sections/05-layers.tex} \input{sections/06-transforms.tex} \input{sections/07-resampling.tex} \input{sections/08-assembly.tex} \input{sections/09-exact-arithmetic.tex} \input{sections/10-transposition.tex} \appendix \input{sections/11-grouped-rectangles.tex} \bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{references} \end{document}
