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.

arXiv:2606. 09213v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are increasingly trained in a wide range of frameworks (SnnTorch, Lava, Norse, and others) each with its own model format.
By Alejandro Garc\'ia Gener, Alvaro Roll\'on de Pinedo
Achieving nanosecond-scale inference latency for deep neural networks (DNNs) has become a primary architectural concern for latency-critical applications. While Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer a promising substrate for low-latency inference, conventional FPGA accelerators remain arithmetic-centric, using LUTs primarily as building blocks for numerical operators and peripheral logic.
