AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
What happened
The rapid evolution of hybrid large language models (LLMs), which interleave grouped-query-attention (GQA), state-space model (SSM), and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers, introduces two fundamental challenges for near-memory processing (NMP) architectures. First, the Technology Wall: the conventional 6F^2 DRAM cell...
Why it matters
As hybrid LLMs evolve, overcoming memory and processing bottlenecks is critical for efficient inference. NOVA's co-design approach targets these hardware constraints to better support complex LLM workloads.
