SPARTA is a sparse ternary LLM accelerator designed for long‑context inference on edge devices. It combines a phase‑aware sparse dataflow, a unified compute fabric that maps ternary SpMM/SpMV and bit‑serial attention onto shared processing elements, and an adaptive two‑stage attention engine that reduces KV‑cache traffic. The design achieves significant reductions in KV traffic (4.1‑4.8× over full attention) and outperforms NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and AMD Ryzen 7 9700X in generation throughput and energy efficiency, while also surpassing other accelerators in throughput, energy, and area efficiency.
