Reducing many small products to one large multiplication
Develop a reduction that, given integers u1,…,un and v1,…,vn of p bits each, computes all n products ui·vi using a single integer multiplication of size O(np) (or O(1) such multiplications) on a multitape Turing machine.

Is there a way to reduce this problem to a single integer multiplication problem of size O(np)? (Or O(1) such problems?) We do not know how to do this, but it is not implausible that such a reduction exists.
