TOPIQ: Statistical Error Propagation for Quantity-of-Interest Prediction under Lossy Compression

Youyuan Liu, Bo Jiang, Taolue Yang +3

Lossy compression is essential for managing massive scientific data, but per-element error bounds do not translate into bounds on downstream quantities of interest (QoIs) such as r…

PTStore (Prefix Tensor Store): Distributed Prefix Caching and Replication for High Throughput Inference Serving

Meghana Maghyastha, Robert Underwood, Randal Burns +1

Inspired by the design of client caching in Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), PTStore distributes and replicates popular tensors that form reusable KV cache prefixes, which are the…

Rate-Distortion Bounds for Heterogeneous Random Fields on Finite Lattices

Sujata Sinha, Vishwas Rao, Robert Underwood +4

Since Shannon's foundational work, rate-distortion theory has defined the fundamental limits of lossy compression. Classical results, derived for memoryless and stationary ergodic…

SPARe: Stacked Parallelism with Adaptive Reordering for Fault-Tolerant LLM Pretraining Systems with 100k+ GPUs

Jin Lee, Zhonghao Chen, Xuhang He +6

In large-scale LLM pre-training systems with 100k+ GPUs, failures become the norm rather than the exception, and restart costs can dominate wall-clock training time. However, exist…
