CN101 - A Digital Thermodynamic Computer for Generative AI
Lars Holdijk, Denis Melanson, Zier Mensch +14
Thermodynamic computing is an emerging hardware paradigm, in which stochastic physical dynamics serve as the direct computational primitive. The recent explosion of generative AI h…
Lattice Random Walk Discretisations of Stochastic Differential Equations
Samuel Duffield, Maxwell Aifer, Denis Melanson +2
We introduce a lattice random walk discretisation scheme for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) that samples binary or ternary increments at each step, suppressing complex dr…
Scalable Thermodynamic Second-order Optimization
Kaelan Donatella, Samuel Duffield, Denis Melanson +7
Many hardware proposals have aimed to accelerate inference in AI workloads. Less attention has been paid to hardware acceleration of training, despite the enormous societal impact…
Thermodynamic Algorithms for Quadratic Programming
Patryk-Lipka Bartosik, Kaelan Donatella, Maxwell Aifer +4
Thermodynamic computing has emerged as a promising paradigm for accelerating computation by harnessing the thermalization properties of physical systems. This work introduces a nov…
Thermodynamic Bayesian Inference
Maxwell Aifer, Samuel Duffield, Kaelan Donatella +6
A fully Bayesian treatment of complicated predictive models (such as deep neural networks) would enable rigorous uncertainty quantification and the automation of higher-level tasks…
