How well does this technique handle sparse matrices compared to dense ones? I ask as working with large-scale sparse matrices is quite common in many applications.

The technique can still provide benefits for sparse matrices but may not yield as large efficiency gains as with dense matrices. The performance would depend on the degree of sparsity and implementation.

From our initial comparison, this matrix exponentiation method demonstrates slightly better performance in specific use cases where matrices have particular properties. That being said, CuBLAS remains very competitive for general cases.
