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…
Solving the compute crisis with physics-based ASICs
Maxwell Aifer, Zach Belateche, Suraj Bramhavar +11
Escalating artificial intelligence (AI) demands expose a critical "compute crisis" characterized by unsustainable energy consumption, prohibitive training costs, and the approachin…
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…
