The paper introduces Radio‑Frequency Convolutional Neural Networks (RF‑CNNs), which repurpose the frequency mixer in wireless radios to perform convolutional neural network inference directly on edge devices. By mapping multi‑channel convolutions onto frequency tones, the passive mixer can execute the entire operation in a single pass, enabling deep CNNs with up to 26.4 million parameters and nine layers to run on smartphones, wearables, and drones. Experimental results show near full‑precision performance while reducing energy consumption to 0.72 fJ per multiply‑accumulate—two orders of magnitude lower than adding a digital processor.

The paper addresses the problem of non‑deterministic outputs from large language models (LLMs) when run on different GPU architectures, caused by floating‑point non‑associativity and hardware‑dependent kernel choices. It proposes a set of fixed‑configuration fused‑upcast GEMM kernels that load 16‑bit weights, upcast to FP32, and perform IEEE‑754 compliant reductions in a problem‑shape‑dependent order, ensuring identical linear‑layer outputs across NVIDIA Ampere, Ada, and Hopper GPUs. The new approach achieves 1.17–3.1× faster end‑to‑end performance than existing solutions and halves weight‑memory traffic while maintaining cross‑architecture reproducibility.
