In this paper, we investigate the randomized algorithms for block matrix multiplication from random sampling perspective. Based on the A-optimal design criterion, the optimal sampling probabilities and sampling block sizes are obtained. To improve the practicability of the block sizes, two modified ones with less computation cost are provided. With respect to the second one, a two step algorithm is also devised. Moreover, the probability error bounds for the proposed algorithms are given. Extensive numerical results show that our methods outperform the existing one in the literature.
