Affine-Scaled Attention: Towards Flexible and Stable Transformer Attention
Jeongin Bae, Baeseong Park, Gunho Park +7
Transformer attention is typically implemented using softmax normalization, which enforces attention weights with unit sum normalization. While effective in many settings, this con…
AnyBCQ: Hardware Efficient Flexible Binary-Coded Quantization for Multi-Precision LLMs
Gunho Park, Jeongin Bae, Beomseok Kwon +3
The deployment of large language models (LLMs) is increasingly constrained by memory and latency bottlenecks, motivating the need for quantization techniques that flexibly balance…
CodeGEMM: A Codebook-Centric Approach to Efficient GEMM in Quantized LLMs
Gunho Park, Jeongin Bae, Byeongwook Kim +5
Weight-only quantization is widely used to mitigate the memory-bound nature of LLM inference. Codebook-based methods extend this trend by achieving strong accuracy in the extremely…
Unifying Uniform and Binary-coding Quantization for Accurate Compression of Large Language Models
Seungcheol Park, Jeongin Bae, Beomseok Kwon +5
How can we quantize large language models while preserving accuracy? Quantization is essential for deploying large language models (LLMs) efficiently. Binary-coding quantization (B…
To FP8 and Back Again: Quantifying Reduced Precision Effects on LLM Training Stability
Joonhyung Lee, Jeongin Bae, Byeongwook Kim +2
The massive computational costs associated with large language model (LLM) pretraining have spurred great interest in reduced-precision floating-point representations to accelerate…
FIGLUT: An Energy-Efficient Accelerator Design for FP-INT GEMM Using Look-Up Tables
Gunho Park, Hyeokjun Kwon, Jiwoo Kim +4
Weight-only quantization has emerged as a promising solution to the deployment challenges of large language models (LLMs). However, it necessitates FP-INT operations, which make im…
