A fast-transpose is a computer algorithm that quickly transposes a sparse matrix using a relatively small amount of memory. Using arrays normally to record a sparse matrix uses up a lot of memory since many of the matrix's values are zero. In addition, using the normal transpose algorithm to transpose this matrix will take O(cols*elements) amount of time. The fast-transpose algorithm only uses a little memory to record the matrix and takes only O(cols+elements) amount of time, which is efficient considering the number of elements equals cols*rows.
