arXiv:2608. 13756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Two GPU kernels implementing the same scaled INT8 GEMM interface are usually treated as interchangeable.
arXiv:2607. 14568v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A companion study ran a 35B mixture-of-experts model on a 2011 NVIDIA Tesla C2075 (Fermi, sm_20, 6GB) as a GPU-prefill/CPU-decode hybrid, because the 4-bit model did not fit in device memory (arXiv:2606.
arXiv:2606. 06510v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional HPC dogma holds that native hardware FP64 silicon is the irreducible foundation of scientific computing -- the "holy grail" of double-precision simulation.
arXiv:2606. 20128v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Benchmarks for LLM-generated GPU kernels (KernelBench, TritonBench, GEAK) score correctness through fixed-shape, small-sample allclose-style checks.
arXiv:2606. 14598v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training INT8 (W8A8) quantization of diffusion transformers is widely deployed as a speed optimization, yet on consumer Ampere GPUs it is frequently slower than the FP8 and NF4 alternatives it is meant to beat.
arXiv:2608. 08910v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: PTQTP decomposes LLM weight matrices into two ternary (trit) planes with two free per-group scales.
arXiv:2608. 10103v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-performance Tensor Core kernels rely on a low-level PTX pipeline built from asynchronous data movement with cp.
arXiv:2608. 11212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Top-k Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routing is discontinuous, so a deployment-motivated numerical disturbance -- simulated 4-bit KV-cache quantization read by a protected BF16 gate -- pushes tokens across decision boundaries and flips which experts fire.
arXiv:2608. 10010v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-precision datatypes reduce language-model cost, but most formats optimize scalar fidelity while leaving the arithmetic induced by their products unchanged.
arXiv:2608. 05025v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint Energy-Based Models (JEM) unify classification and generation within a single network and support out-of-distribution (OOD) detection.
arXiv:2607. 11368v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reported serving speedups from quantized kernels typically bundle the weight format, the kernel, and the inference runtime into one number.
arXiv:2607. 14431v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We report a way to make a frozen small language model both more capable and dramatically cheaper at once, without changing any weights.
arXiv:2607. 22785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Apple-Silicon SoCs share CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine over one unified memory system, raising the question of whether transformer inference can be accelerated by splitting single operators across units.
