Graph Coarsening Enables Escaping Local Optima in Compute-Constrained Nonconvex MAX-CUT

M. Harper Langston, Pierre-David Letourneau, Dalton Jones +7

Because its binary optimization landscape contains exponentially many local optima, MAX-CUT is highly sensitive to initialization. We study Particle Polynomial Relaxation (PPR), a…

When Good Enough Is Optimal: Multiplication-Only Matrix Inversion Approximation for Quantized Gated DeltaNet

Luoming Zhang, Yuwei Ren, Kui Zhang +7

Matrix inversion in chunk-wise parallel linear attention is a major bottleneck for long-context modeling, particularly on NPUs, where forward-substitution-based methods exhibit lim…

PADRe: A Unifying Polynomial Attention Drop-in Replacement for Efficient Vision Transformer

Pierre-David Letourneau, Manish Kumar Singh, Hsin-Pai Cheng +6

We present Polynomial Attention Drop-in Replacement (PADRe), a novel and unifying framework designed to replace the conventional self-attention mechanism in transformer models. Not…

An Efficient Framework for Global Non-Convex Polynomial Optimization with Algebraic Constraints

Mitchell Tong Harris, Pierre-David Letourneau, Dalton Jones +1

We present an efficient framework for solving algebraically-constrained global non-convex polynomial optimization problems over subsets of the hypercube. We prove the existence of…

A Sparse Fast Chebyshev Transform for High-Dimensional Approximation

Dalton Jones, Pierre-David Letourneau, Matthew J. Morse +1

We present the Fast Chebyshev Transform (FCT), a fast, randomized algorithm to compute a Chebyshev approximation of functions in high-dimensions from the knowledge of the location…

Optimizing the domain wall fermion Dirac operator using the R-Stream source-to-source compiler

Meifeng Lin, Eric Papenhausen, M. Harper Langston +4

The application of the Dirac operator on a spinor field, the Dslash operation, is the most computation-intensive part of the lattice QCD simulations. It is often the key kernel to…
