Multibit neural inference in a N-ary crossbar architecture

arXiv:2604. 26979v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In-memory computing (IMC) is a paradigm that enables neural network inference by computing analog matrix-vector multiplications (MVM) directly in memory crossbar arrays, with the potential for energy efficiency gains over conventional von Neumann architectures.

FluxBin: Flexible LUT-based Ultra-low-bit LLM Inference by Algorithm-Kernel Synergy

arXiv:2608. 15602v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While binary quantization theoretically promises extreme compression and acceleration for Large Language Models (LLMs), existing research often overlooks the necessity of specialized hardware kernels, thus failing to unleash the full acceleration potential due to persistent reliance on expensive floating-point arithmetic or runtime dequantization overheads.

Surrogate Neural Architecture Codesign Package (SNAC-Pack)

arXiv:2605. 16138v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural architecture search (NAS) is a powerful approach for automating model design, but existing methods often optimize for accuracy alone or rely on proxy metrics such as bit operations (BOPs) that correlate poorly with hardware cost.
