Low-Latency Activation-Regularized Sparse Neural Operators with Distillation Assistance Towards Real-Time Edge-Deployable Virtual Sensing

The paper introduces the Sparse-Activation-ReLU (SAR) layer, a single‑step neural operator that promotes activation sparsity without surrogate‑gradient training and is compatible with event‑based computing. In a trunk‑based NOMAD architecture, SAR improves the combined Latency‑Error‑Energy (LEE) metric by over fivefold compared to Variable Spiking Neuron (VSN) and Leaky Integrate‑and‑Fire (LIF) models. Additional techniques such as synthetic knowledge distillation, a ReLU‑based spiking loss, and graph‑neighbor thresholding further reduce LEE and L2 error on the Heat Exchanger dataset, advancing energy‑efficient virtual sensing for edge deployment.

Energy-efficient operation of neural operators for virtual sensing

The paper studies how sharing spatial computation can lower the energy consumption of neural operator updates in virtual sensing tasks. By comparing compiler freezing, explicit trunk reuse, and graph replay, the authors find energy reductions ranging from about 1% at low request rates to 20% at high rates, with a 22–22.5% saving over eager execution in a 15 W mode. The work also highlights how different neural operator architectures (DeepONet and FNO) and overheads such as preparation and worker replacement affect the overall energy profile.

PGD-NO: A Neural Operator with Precomputed Geometry Decomposition for 3D Million-scale Physics Simulations

arXiv:2607. 08025v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While neural PDE solvers have demonstrated significant potential for accelerating engineering simulations, existing architectures remain constrained by high memory consumption and the single node bottleneck, where the maximum processable mesh resolution is strictly limited by the VRAM of a single compute unit.

PGD-NO: A Neural Operator with Precomputed Geometry Decomposition for 3D Million-scale Physics Simulations

While neural PDE solvers have demonstrated significant potential for accelerating engineering simulations, existing architectures remain constrained by high memory consumption and the single node bottleneck, where the maximum processable mesh resolution is strictly limited by the VRAM of a single compute unit. To address these challenges, we propose PGD-NO, a neural operator with Precomputed Geometry Decomposition, that relocates the computational overhead of geometric encoding to a deterministic pre-computation phase.

Mesh-Native Physics-Informed Graph Surrogates for TCAD-in-the-Loop Design Space Exploration

The paper introduces a physics‑informed graph attention network that directly operates on the tetrahedral mesh used in TCAD simulations of FinFET devices. By predicting electrostatic potential and quasi‑Fermi levels at every mesh node and training with both data loss and finite‑volume current‑continuity residuals, the surrogate retains the underlying carrier‑transport physics while achieving size generalization. Benchmarks against Sentaurus Device show sub‑volt RMSE for the drift‑diffusion fields and a per‑design throughput that is orders of magnitude faster, enabling rapid Pareto‑front exploration of large multi‑fin arrays that would otherwise be prohibitively slow to simulate.
