Resolution Enhancement Techniques (RETs) are critical to meet the demands of advanced technology nodes. Among RETs, Source Mask Optimization (SMO) is pivotal, concurrently optimizing both the source and the mask to expand the process…

We make distributed stochastic gradient descent faster by exchanging sparse updates instead of dense updates. Gradient updates are positively skewed as most updates are near zero, so we map the 99% smallest updates (by absolute value) to…

Masked Discrete Diffusion Models (MDMs) have achieved strong performance across a wide range of multimodal tasks, including image understanding, generation, and editing. However, their inference speed remains suboptimal due to the need to…

Bit-level sparsity methods skip ineffectual zero-bit operations and are typically applicable within bit-serial deep learning accelerators. This type of sparsity at the bit-level is especially interesting because it is both orthogonal and…

Diffusion models have shown remarkable success across a wide range of generative tasks. However, they often suffer from spatially inconsistent generation, arguably due to the inherent locality of their denoising mechanisms. This can yield…

Autoregressive models excel in modeling sequential dependencies by enforcing causal constraints, yet they struggle to capture complex bidirectional patterns due to their unidirectional nature. In contrast, mask-based models leverage…
