UnverifiedIn ternary quantization, matrix multiplication can degenerate into addition and subtraction, theoretically allowing multipliers to be bypassed entirely.74% similarUnverifiedThe multiplication operations of -1, 0, and +1 can be reduced to addition and sign flipping, which can lower power consumption and computational latency in dedicated hardware.69% similarUnverifiedFloating-point to string algorithms use lookup tables of powers of 5 rather than powers of 10, because 10 = 2 × 5 and powers of 2 can be handled via bit-shift operations.68% similarUnverifiedThe causal mask is implemented by generating a matrix with ones in the upper triangle and zeros in the lower triangle using torch.triu, ensuring that the i-th token can only attend to tokens at positions no greater than i.67% similarUnverifiedConverting integers to floating-point, performing floating-point division, and converting back to integers adds the overhead of two type conversions, but in certain scenarios the overall throughput is actually better.60% similar
