ReaLM: Reflection-Enhanced Autonomous Reasoning with Small Language Models
Yuanfeng Xu, Zehui Dai, Jian Liang +4
Small Language Models (SLMs) are a cost-effective alternative to Large Language Models (LLMs), but often struggle with complex reasoning due to their limited capacity and a tendenc…
MERE: Hardware-Software Co-Design for Masking Cache Miss Latency in Embedded Processors
Dean You, Jieyu Jiang, Xiaoxuan Wang +9
Runahead execution is a technique to mask memory latency caused by irregular memory accesses. By pre-executing the application code during occurrences of long-latency operations an…
FlexStep: Enabling Flexible Error Detection in Multi/Many-core Real-time Systems
Tinglue Wang, Yiming Li, Wei Tang +6
Reliability and real-time responsiveness in safety-critical systems have traditionally been achieved using error detection mechanisms, such as LockStep, which require pre-configure…
NVR: Vector Runahead on NPUs for Sparse Memory Access
Hui Wang, Zhengpeng Zhao, Jing Wang +11
Deep Neural Networks are increasingly leveraging sparsity to reduce the scaling up of model parameter size. However, reducing wall-clock time through sparsity and pruning remains c…
MESC: Re-thinking Algorithmic Priority and/or Criticality Inversions for Heterogeneous MCSs
Jiapeng Guan, Ran Wei, Dean You +4
Modern Mixed-Criticality Systems (MCSs) rely on hardware heterogeneity to satisfy ever-increasing computational demands. However, most of the heterogeneous co-processors are design…
