arXiv:2606. 31938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying Vision Transformer (ViT) models on edge platforms remains challenging due to their high computational demands and the architectural heterogeneity of modern hybrid ViT models, which incorporate both fully connected and convolutional layers.
The paper presents memory‑efficient GPU pipelines that accelerate real‑time non‑line‑of‑sight (NLOS) reconstruction. By redesigning two wave‑based algorithms—f‑k migration and phasor‑fields—with fused kernels, warp‑level photon binning, batched transforms, CUDA graph replay, and selective FP16 storage, the authors achieve up to 42× speed‑ups over a reference streaming pipeline and 14× over the fastest published GPU baseline while reducing memory usage to as little as 2.5%. The work also includes an ablation study of implementation choices and introduces three denoising strategies that leverage the increased frame budget for future NLOS video processing.
arXiv:2603. 12478v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal instruction tuning is often compute-inefficient because training budgets are spread across large mixed image-video pools whose utility is highly uneven.
Use this plain-text version for the arXiv abstract field: Learned image compression (LIC) models achieve strong rate-distortion performance but are hindered by high computational complexity and encoding-decoding mismatches across heterogeneous hardware platforms. Uniform fixed-precision quantization alleviates these issues but suffers severe quality degradation at low bit widths because it ignores differences in the quantization sensitivities of individual layers.
FAME is an FPGA-based platform that evaluates approximate multipliers directly in hardware, eliminating slow CPU/GPU LUT emulation and reducing evaluation time for DNN inference. It also introduces a pattern-guided retraining method that uses multiplier-specific patterns to recover accuracy losses. Experiments on ResNet‑18 and MobileNetV2 over ImageNet show up to 3.47× faster multiplier evaluation and a 65.5% accuracy improvement over prior retraining approaches.

This paper presents an energy-efficient hardware acceleration of the convolutional layers in the U-Net architecture for image segmentation, implemented on FPGA. While digit-serial arithmetic, particularly most-significant-digit-first (MSDF) techniques, offers a compact hardware footprint, it suffers from initial latency before producing the first output digit.
