Huawei's $τ$ Chip Was Supposed to Melt?

Abstract

Heat is the sharpest concern on $τ$ scaling law --- the time-scaling principle behind Huawei's folded silicon, named for the delay $τ$ (``Tao'') it sets out to shrink. Our Kirin measurements turned that objection upside down. The reason is one every commuter already knows: on a chip, as in a workday, it is the travel that burns the majority of the energy, not the work at the desk.

Deep belief networks are exact

We prove that every strictly positive probability distribution on \(\{-1,1\}^n\) is represented exactly by a sigmoid belief network with finite parameters. This answers a question of Sutskever and Hinton. The proof upgrades their probability-sharing approximation to exact representation using Brouwer's fixed-point theorem.

Are Widely Known Findings Easier to Retract?

Failures of retraction are common in science. Why do they occur? And what determines whether a retraction is successful? We use data from citation records and Altmetrics to test proposed answers to these questions. LaCroix et al. employ network models to argue the social spread of information helps explain failures of retraction. One prediction is that widely known results, surprisingly, should be easier to retract, since their retraction is more relevant. Our results support this conclusion. We find highly cited papers show more significant reductions in citation after retraction and garner more attention to their retractions as they occur.

Hardware-conscious Software Training for Deep Neural Network Inference Accelerator Chips to Recover Accuracy Degradation due to Hardware Variabilities

Deep neural network (DNN) has been widely applied in various industries. Specialized chips are being discussed for the purpose of achieving lower power consumption with higher throughput. Hardware variations introduced during the process of chip manufacturing are the main reason for affecting the inference accuracies. In this paper, we propose hardware-conscious software training (HCST) method which enables high inference accuracies even under the influence of hardware variations.
