Finding all modes of a multimodal black-box function is a fundamental challenge in optimization, Bayesian inference, and scientific computing. Existing approaches -- basin-hopping, CMA-ES, multistart gradient descent -- operate sequentially and cannot exploit the massive parallelism of modern GPU hardware.
arXiv:2603. 21180v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sequential experimental design under expensive, gradient-free objectives is a central challenge in computational statistics: evaluation budgets are tightly constrained and information must be extracted efficiently from each observation.
arXiv:2605. 09708v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present Metal-Sci, a 10-task benchmark of scientific Apple Silicon Metal compute kernels spanning six optimization regimes (stencils, all-pairs in $n$-body problems, multi-field Boltzmann, neighbor-list molecular dynamics, multi-kernel PDE, FFT).
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. 15832v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Empirical risk minimization on massive datasets naturally exhibits a nested double finite-sum structure, where $N=nm$ total samples are logically or physically partitioned into $n$ blocks of size $m$ (e.
arXiv:2607. 16268v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adaptive optimizers such as Adam and AdamW apply the same update rule regardless of whether training is in a chaotic early phase or near convergence.
