Google researchers have published a new quantization technique called TurboQuant that compresses the key-value (KV) cache in large language models to 3.5 bits per channel, cutting memory consumption ...

A paper from Google could make local LLMs even easier to run.

The Google Play Store is home to all sorts of fancy apps and games. Need to seamlessly transfer files from your phone to your laptop wirelessly? You can use Pushbullet for that. Want an app to manage ...

TurboQuant vector quantization targets KV cache bloat, aiming to cut LLM memory use by 6x while preserving benchmark accuracy ...

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...

How lossless data compression can reduce memory and power requirements. How ZeroPoint’s compression technology differs from the competition. One can never have enough memory, and one way to get more ...

In a computer, the entire memory can be separated into different levels based on access time and capacity. Figure 1 shows different levels in the memory hierarchy. Smaller and faster memories are kept ...

Hobby programmer here. I have a couple of non-critical questions that I can't find the answer to and can't personally figure out how they work. Hopefully someone could enlighten me. Both PS4 and XB1 ...

Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...
