WBMM: Windowed Batch Matrix Multiplication for Efficient Large Receptive Field Convolution

arXiv:2607. 02097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large kernel depthwise convolutions achieve strong performance but suffer from significant degradation as kernel size grows due to irregular memory access from gather-based computation; while Large Kernel Acceleration (LKA) helps on small feature maps, it becomes counterproductive on large feature maps, even slower than non-accelerated implementations.

Gefen: Optimized Stochastic Optimizer

arXiv:2606. 13894v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AdamW is a default optimizer for modern deep learning, but its first and second moment states add roughly two parameter-sized buffers to training memory.
