As more capable AI models are increasingly integrated into critical computer systems, the lack of control over AI intent motivates safety mechanisms. Existing software safeguards impose only behavioral constraints that can potentially be bypassed by sufficiently intelligent models.

arXiv:2608. 09874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic artificial intelligence has shown great promise in automating algorithm design, but scaling similar techniques to computer microarchitecture discovery remains challenging due to vast search spaces, strict hardware budgets, and long simulation times.

The paper proposes DCO, a dynamic cache orchestration scheme for multi-core AI accelerators that uses application-aware policies and dataflow information to guide cache replacement, bypass decisions, and thrashing mitigation. Using a cycle-accurate simulator, the authors demonstrate up to 1.80× speedup over conventional cache architectures and validate the approach with an analytical model and RTL implementation. The design occupies 0.064 mm² on a 15 nm process and operates at 2 GHz, showing that a shared system-level cache can simplify programming while boosting performance for large language model workloads.

arXiv:2608. 26418v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern AI workloads and the hardware that runs them evolve on different timescales: architectural definition precedes volume silicon by years, while target workloads shift in months.
The paper reports the development of 2‑bit microkernels for CPUs and mixed‑precision 2‑bit kernels for Intel Xe2 GPUs, achieving near‑roofline performance. Integrated into LLM inference pipelines, these kernels deliver up to 7× speedup over 16‑bit inference on CPUs and 6.7× on GPUs, surpassing the current state‑of‑the‑art bitnet.cpp runtime by 2.2×. The work demonstrates that ultra‑low‑bit LLM models can be deployed efficiently, offering significant gains in latency, memory, throughput, and energy consumption.
The paper introduces a phase‑decoupled, model‑calibrated power controller for disaggregated large‑language‑model (LLM) serving, addressing the mismatch between GPU power settings and the distinct hardware regimes of prefill and decode stages. By calibrating separate power caps for each lane based on measured throughput‑latency cliffs, the authors achieve a 20.4% increase in tokens per joule with only a 3.5% rise in mean end‑to‑end latency on an 8‑node B200 cluster, outperforming NVIDIA’s Max‑Q profile. The approach also demonstrates consistent meeting of ITL‑p99 service‑level objectives across multiple MoE models and yields a 32.3% electricity savings over a sustained three‑day run.
arXiv:2607. 03876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the rise of small quantized GGUF-based language models and their increasing use for on-device inference tasks, we have seen the growing need for an approach capable of reliably delivering these models at scale even under severe memory bandwidth constraints such as those imposed by pure CPU implementations.
