arXiv:2608. 04407v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Memory-efficient matrix optimizers such as Sinkhorn gradient descent remove most AdamW optimizer state for dense Transformer matrices, but direct application to Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) training is unreliable.
arXiv:2608. 00029v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The performance of deep learning models at scale relies heavily on how effectively high-level mathematical operations are mapped to underlying physical hardware.
arXiv:2608. 13057v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In expert-parallel (EP) MoE serving, every layer synchronizes at the slowest GPU.
arXiv:2606. 17526v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient optimization is essential for training large language models.
arXiv:2607. 25504v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-grained weight pruning and activation sparsification have emerged as effective approaches for reducing the compute and memory cost of inference for Transformer models.
arXiv:2506. 21833v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Forward-mode automatic differentiation (FmAD) and zero-order (ZO) optimization are increasingly proposed as memory-efficient, backpropagation-free alternatives for large language model (LLM) fine-tuning, yet their benefits are typically evaluated only against standard backpropagation (BP), omitting memory-efficient variants such as activation checkpointing.
