Design Space

The table below lists the hardware and quantization parameters that are jointly explored during co-design. Hardware tile sizes and SRAM–HBM transfer widths are expressed as powers of two; precision parameters are categorical and one-hot encoded.

Example Constraints

Valid configurations must satisfy constraints that couple the hardware and quantization parameters. Representative examples:

  1. Memory bandwidthMLEN × KV_WIDTH ≤ MemBandwidth
  2. Tile divisibilityMLEN mod BLEN = 0
  3. Tile orderingMLEN ≥ HLEN ≥ BLEN
