Low-bit GEMM is increasingly central to efficient ML inference, yet very-low-bit execution remains a poor fit for conventional CPUs. Practical deployment spans fragmented regimes-from 1/2/4-bit weights to varying activation precision-whose feasibility, reuse opportunity, and support cost differ under fixed SIMD and register-file budgets, making lightweight CPU support selection a first-class design problem.
arXiv:2606. 11357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the growing demand for on-device LLM inference, edge SoCs increasingly integrate NPUs to improve performance and energy efficiency under tight power and thermal budgets.
arXiv:2607. 14618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: CPUs are the most universal target for on-device LLM inference, but existing low-bit quantization methods offer either coarse operating points or fine-grained mixed precision that is difficult to execute efficiently on CPUs.
arXiv:2606. 28565v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) move into production serving, practitioners must rapidly evaluate inference performance across diverse hardware, models, and serving parameters to meet cost and latency targets.
arXiv:2607. 20475v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sampling in LLM inference comprises a combinatorial set of logit processing, token selection, and verification operations for speculative decoding.
arXiv:2607. 24434v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models are attractive for end-device deployment because only a small subset of experts is active per token, but their routed expert weights often exceed accelerator memory.
