Lower Energy, High Performance LLM on FPGA Without Matrix Multiplication


A new technical paper titled "Scalable MatMul-free Language Modeling" was published by UC Santa Cruz, Soochow University, UC Davis, and LuxiTech. Abstract "Matrix multiplication (MatMul) typically dominates the overall computational cost of large language models (LLMs). This cost only grows as LLMs scale to larger embedding dimensions and context lengths. In this work, we show that MatMul... » read more
