Relaxed activation analysis of dataflow networks - A clock calculus for machine learning and real-time scheduling

arXiv:2607. 21797v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Previous work has shown that the simple dataflow primitives of the Lustre language allow the natural, semantically unambiguous, and compact representation of machine learning (ML) applications, including models featuring complex conditional execution and recurrent state.

DORA: A Scalable Asynchronous Reinforcement Learning System for Language Model Training

arXiv:2604. 26256v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a critical paradigm for LLM post-training, yet the rollout phase -- accounting for 50--80% of total step time -- is bottlenecked by skewed generation: long-tailed trajectories indispensable for model performance block the entire training pipeline.

A Learning Method with Gap-Aware Generation for Heterogeneous DAG Scheduling

arXiv:2603. 23249v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Efficient scheduling of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) is a core problem in large-scale data-intensive computing systems, where query plans, data-processing workloads, and computation graphs consist of dependent tasks competing for limited heterogeneous resource pools.

Structured Recurrent Mixers for Massively Parallelized Sequence Generation

arXiv:2605. 08696v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Over the last two decades, language modeling has experienced a shift from the use of predominantly recurrent architectures that process tokens sequentially during training and inference to non-recurrent models that process sequence elements in parallel during training, which results in greater training efficiency and stability at the expense of lower inference throughput.
