Exploiting sparsity in deep neural networks (DNNs) has been a promising area for meeting the growing computation requirements. To minimize the overhead of sparse acceleration, hard…
Demystifying AI Platform Design for Distributed Inference of Next-Generation LLM models
Abhimanyu Bambhaniya, Ritik Raj, Geonhwa Jeong +6
Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable performance across a wide range of applications, often outperforming human experts. However, deploying these gigantic models effi…
GEAR: An Efficient KV Cache Compression Recipe for Near-Lossless Generative Inference of LLM
Hao Kang, Qingru Zhang, Souvik Kundu +4
Key-value (KV) caching has become the de-facto to accelerate generation speed for large language models (LLMs) inference. However, the growing cache demand with increasing sequence…
SDQ: Sparse Decomposed Quantization for LLM Inference
Geonhwa Jeong, Po-An Tsai, Stephen W. Keckler +1
Recently, large language models (LLMs) have shown surprising performance in task-specific workloads as well as general tasks with the given prompts. However, to achieve unprecedent…
Algorithm-Hardware Co-Design of Distribution-Aware Logarithmic-Posit Encodings for Efficient DNN Inference
Akshat Ramachandran, Zishen Wan, Geonhwa Jeong +2
Traditional Deep Neural Network (DNN) quantization methods using integer, fixed-point, or floating-point data types struggle to capture diverse DNN parameter distributions at low p…
