The leading "..." gives the same thing, but iterates over all the leading
indicies in case you want multidimensional arrays of matrices ;) You can
also use the sum method which might be a bit more economical:

(a[:,:,:,numpy.newaxis]*b[:,numpy.newaxis,:,:]).sum(axis=-2)

How do the execution times compare?
