CIM-Tuner: Balancing the Compute and Storage Capacity of SRAM-CIM Accelerator via Hardware-mapping Co-exploration
Jinwu Chen, Yuhui Shi, He Wang +4
As an emerging type of AI computing accelerator, SRAM Computing-In-Memory (CIM) accelerators feature high energy efficiency and throughput. However, various CIM designs and under-e…
KVNAND: Efficient On-Device Large Language Model Inference Using DRAM-Free In-Flash Computing
Lishuo Deng, Shaojie Xu, Jinwu Chen +4
Deploying large language models (LLMs) on edge devices enables personalized agents with strong privacy and low cost. However, with tens to hundreds of billions of parameters, singl…
MERE: Hardware-Software Co-Design for Masking Cache Miss Latency in Embedded Processors
Dean You, Jieyu Jiang, Xiaoxuan Wang +9
Runahead execution is a technique to mask memory latency caused by irregular memory accesses. By pre-executing the application code during occurrences of long-latency operations an…
FireGuard: A Generalized Microarchitecture for Fine-Grained Security Analysis on OoO Superscalar Cores
Zhe Jiang, Sam Ainsworth, Timothy Jones
High-performance security guarantees rely on hardware support. Generic programmable support for fine-grained instruction analysis has gained broad interest in the literature as a f…
MEEK: Re-thinking Heterogeneous Parallel Error Detection Architecture for Real-World OoO Superscalar Processors
Zhe Jiang, Minli Liao, Sam Ainsworth +2
Heterogeneous parallel error detection is an approach to achieving fault-tolerant processors, leveraging multiple power-efficient cores to re-execute software originally run on a h…
