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…
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…
