Semi-structured 2:4 sparsity is widely supported by modern accelerators, providing up to a 2x theoretical speedup. However, its strict 50% sparsity constraint often causes non-negligible accuracy degradation under post-training pruning.
arXiv:2607. 08786v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the growing deployment of large language models (LLMs), LLM inference cost has become a key challenge.
arXiv:2607. 21985v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing deployment of large language models (LLMs) has magnified the computational and memory bottlenecks of autoregressive decoding, where low compute intensity and bandwidth-bound kernels dominate inference cost.
arXiv:2608. 01536v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly rely on sparsity to reduce inference cost, but most prior work targets a single sparsity source-either weight or activation-and optimizes for batched multi-user inference.
arXiv:2607. 28418v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pruning is a promising approach for improving the efficiency of LLMs.
arXiv:2606. 09080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pruning has emerged as a dominant paradigm for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference, spanning a broad spectrum of methods that remove computation across tokens, layers, heads, dimensions, and attention patterns.
