arXiv:2607. 01921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Communication systems designed for reliable data reconstruction, rather than task-oriented communication, typically rely on separate source and channel coding and incur high latency under limited spectrum availability and fading channels.

arXiv:2607. 01237v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning language models often generate long chain-of-thought (CoT), which accumulates a massive KV cache during the decoding phase and incurs high decoding latency and limited throughput.

arXiv:2607. 01678v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Communication increasingly dominates the cost of Large Language Model (LLM) pre-training, especially under data-parallel and sharded training schemes, where gradient synchronization and parameter reconstruction overhead increase with model size and system scale.

arXiv:2607. 01590v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Developing high-performance kernels for Neural Processing Units (NPUs) is a critical industry bottleneck, requiring developers to manually navigate implicit hardware constraints and strict memory hierarchies.

arXiv:2607. 02097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large kernel depthwise convolutions achieve strong performance but suffer from significant degradation as kernel size grows due to irregular memory access from gather-based computation; while Large Kernel Acceleration (LKA) helps on small feature maps, it becomes counterproductive on large feature maps, even slower than non-accelerated implementations.
