Meet Marlin: A FP16xINT4 LLM Inference Kernel that can Achieve Near-Ideal ~4x Speedups up to Medium Batch Sizes of 16-32 Tokens
In computing, there’s a common challenge when it comes to speeding up the process of running complex language models, like those used in large language understanding tasks. These models, often known as LLMs, require significant computational power, and researchers are always on the lookout for ways to make them faster and more efficient. Some existing…
