Scalability Analysis of Distributed Kolmogorov-Arnold Network Training on High-Performance Computing Systems

The paper reports an empirical scalability study of data‑parallel training for Kolmogorov‑Arnold Networks (KANs) on high‑performance computing systems. Using up to eight NVIDIA A100 GPUs across four nodes on the FinisTerrae III supercomputer, the authors evaluate strong and weak scaling, communication overhead, and model‑size scaling, finding a 74.7% parallel efficiency and a 5.97× speedup at eight GPUs. They observe non‑monotonic communication costs driven by All‑Reduce choices and inter‑node latency, and note that while the parameter‑to‑memory ratio improves with larger models, training time scales less favorably, leading to guidelines for GPU topology and model‑size selection.

Temporal Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (T-KAN) for High-Frequency Limit Order Book Forecasting: Efficiency, Interpretability, and Alpha Decay

The paper introduces Temporal Kolmogorov‑Arnold Networks (T‑KAN) for forecasting high‑frequency limit order book data, replacing fixed linear weights in LSTMs with learnable B‑spline activation functions. This approach captures the shape of market signals, yielding a 19.1% relative improvement in F1‑score at a 100‑step horizon and a 132.48% return versus a -82.76% drawdown for DeepLOB under 1.0 bps transaction costs. T‑KAN also offers interpretability through visible dead‑zones in the splines and is optimized for low‑latency FPGA deployment via High‑Level Synthesis.
