arXiv:2608.20427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dense causal attention remains expensive at long context even when implemented with highly optimized exact kernels. We study BF1, a deterministic block-aligned dyadic sparse-attention route that combines a small exact local neighborhood, a global first block, and logarithmically spaced historical blocks. The route is related to prior log-sparse and dilated attention patterns; our contribution is a correctness-gated pretrained-model retrofit, a matched topology-control study, and a systems characterization that connects per-layer sparsity to whole-model latency. For fixed block width, every converted layer uses O(n log n) selected token interactions and has O(log n) graph communication depth. On an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU, an optimized BF16 implementation crosses dense attention between 2K and 4K tokens and reaches a 10.91x per-layer prefill speedup at 32K. Retrofitting eight of 28 Qwen3-0.6B attention layers lowers warm whole-model time to first token by 7.7%, 11.3%, and 15.3% at 8K, 16K, and 32K, respectively, while the remaining dense layers keep the complete model asymptotically quadratic. Under a matched 1,000-step, 16.384M-token adaptation protocol, BF1 ranks first across three training seeds: mean report perplexity is 1.68639 versus 1.69154 for a matched static-random nonlocal graph, 1.69258 for dense continued training, and 1.81505 for equal-budget local sliding. At seed 1234, the packed-report paired interval places Dense-CT 0.3169-0.4055% above BF1 and static-random graph 17 0.2441-0.3642% above BF1. These results establish BF1 as a reproducible sparse operator and selective retrofit primitive with real long-context systems value. This paper evaluates numerical correctness, selected-interaction scaling, kernel performance, partial-model inference, and matched next-token language modeling.

arXiv:2608.19535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves language-model responses by grounding generation in external passages, which comes with overhead: retrieved context lengthens the prompt, increasing prefill work, KV-cache footprint, memory traffic, latency, and energy. Context compression offers a natural remedy by pruning retrieved text before generation. However, state-of-the-art context-compression methods are typically used with a fixed compression budget, or with the rate selected offline and then applied at inference time. This static view ignores both workload variation and the live state of the edge device. On an edge SoC, compression is not free: the compressor itself runs on the same SoC and consumes latency and energy that can offset any generation savings. This paper proposes a vision for telemetry-informed adaptive compression in edge RAG, grounded in experimental evidence. We characterize the compression tradeoff on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor using Llama and Qwen generators, Natural Questions and HotpotQA datasets, and LLMLingua-2 compression. Our measurements show that generation dominates the RAG budget for larger models, reaching roughly 90% of per-query latency and 91% of GPU energy for 7B-8B generators. Exploring the impact of the compression rate reveals an adaptive operating region: mild compression can miss energy opportunities, and overly aggressive compression can hurt inference quality. Intermediate compression can reduce GPU energy by up to 53.2%, and SoC energy by up to 48.2%, with negligible quality loss. We argue for runtime policies that dynamically manage compression, guided by workload features and edge telemetry.

arXiv:2608.17071v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present KernelArc, a multi-agent framework for autonomous GPU kernel optimization across heterogeneous workloads. Strategy-specialized agents run in parallel and coordinate through conclusions-only shared memory, a deterministic benchmark guard, and read-only cross-agent state with plateau-triggered drafting. We evaluate \kernelarc{} on NVIDIA H100 and B200 GPUs using category-representative SOL-ExecBench workloads. The resulting implementations span custom BF16 GEMM, static cuBLASLt Expert-API configuration tables, fused mixture-of-experts backward, shape-gated decoder-layer fusion, native NVFP4 grouped-query attention, and paged prefill attention. At the public SOL-ExecBench leaderboard snapshot recorded on July~30, 2026, these submissions ranked first on representative L1, L2, Quantization, and FlashInfer tasks. The trajectories support the paper's central motivation: shared multi-agent search can broaden exploration and reach stronger incumbents within a fixed candidate budget, while the value of individual coordination features depends on the kernel and optimization stage.
