arXiv:2606. 09377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Formal neural network verification -- proving that a network satisfies safety properties for \emph{all} inputs in a specified domain -- is bounded in practice by GPU memory: standard implementations of bound-propagation algorithms (IBP, CROWN, $\alpha$-CROWN) require weight and relaxation-coefficient matrices to reside entirely on one accelerator.

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.

The paper introduces Block Parallelism (BP) and Context‑Sharded Block Parallelism (CSBP) to improve training efficiency for Block Diffusion Language Models (BDLMs) with long contexts. By assigning each corrupted‑block computation to a separate rank and sharding the shared clean sequence, CSBP reduces communication overhead and memory usage while preserving training semantics. Experiments on 16 H200 GPUs and 8 H100 GPUs show throughput gains of up to 1.61× and 7.59×, respectively, and higher benchmark pass rates in practical fine‑tuning scenarios.
