arXiv:2607. 27704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) continue to demonstrate exceptional capabilities across various domains, the challenge of achieving energy-efficient and accurate inference becomes increasingly critical.
arXiv:2605. 26092v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs) on edge devices is significantly constrained by memory limitations and the critical timing bottlenecks introduced by dense Multiply-Accumulate (MAC) arrays.
arXiv:2608. 08081v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large mixture-of-experts (MoE) language models with 26--120 billion parameters exceed the memory capacity of consumer devices through three simultaneous pressures: resident weight matrices, key-value (KV) cache state that grows linearly with context, and dozens of expert sublayers that must be paged on demand.
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:2608. 15602v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While binary quantization theoretically promises extreme compression and acceleration for Large Language Models (LLMs), existing research often overlooks the necessity of specialized hardware kernels, thus failing to unleash the full acceleration potential due to persistent reliance on expensive floating-point arithmetic or runtime dequantization overheads.
arXiv:2601. 07475v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The emergence of fine-grained numerical formats like NVFP4 presents new opportunities for efficient Large Language Model (LLM) inference.
