Improving Progressive Compression with Adaptive Interpolation and Coefficient Decomposition

Exascale simulations generate data far faster than it can be stored or analyzed, making efficient data reduction essential. Error-controlled lossy compression offers high compression ratios under user-specified error bounds, but the target tolerance must be fixed at compression time. Progressive compression relaxes this restriction, yet existing methods still rely on fixed refactoring strategies and do not fully exploit correlations among decomposed coefficients, limiting the efficiency of progressive retrieval. In this work, we present an adaptive progressive compression framework that improves retrieval efficiency for two common targets, namely error-bound and peak Signal-to-Noise ratios. Our contributions are fourfold. (1) We propose to leverage two complementary interpolation schemes for adaptive progressive compression toward different targets, and we optimize them to achieve high efficiency. (2) We propose coefficient decomposition, a novel method that exploits the commonly overlooked spatial correlations among decorrelated data, which further improves the efficiency. (3) We develop the adaptive progressive compression workflow with automatic selection of the best-fit refactoring pipeline and tailored optimizations. (4) We evaluate the proposed framework on five real-world scientific datasets against three state-of-the-art progressive compressors. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework improves the compression ratio by up to $42.3\%$ under the same requested error tolerance and up to $92.5\%$ at the same PSNR, compared with the best-performing existing methods. When transferring $512$ GB of scientific data to remote sites, the framework delivers up to $1.26\times$ speedup in the end-to-end data transfer performance. Furthermore, our method achieves the highest visualization quality while retrieving the least amount of data from storage.

CRISP: Cliff-awaRe Input-adaptive Sparse Prefilling with Structural-Mass-Motivated Routing

The attention prefilling phase of long-context LLM inference scales quadratically, making self-attention a severe computational bottleneck. Traditional sparse attention methods mitigate this through fixed patterns or offline profiling, but lack the flexibility to adapt to input-dependent attention structure. Recent dynamic methods address this by routing heads to sparse patterns in real-time, but rely on indirect routing proxies with overhead and budget allocation mechanisms that overlook the post-softmax mass hierarchy. We present CRISP (Cliff-awaRe Input-adaptive Sparse Prefilling), which identifies and addresses two structural challenges in this dynamic routing paradigm. First, we show that the routing decision can be read directly off the structure of the proxy attention map. We replace the Jensen-Shannon Divergence (JSD) routing with C_struct, a structural proxy that measures mass at Vertical-Slash compatible positions and reproduces JSD's routing decisions while eliminating both the pooled matmul and subsequent KL divergence overhead. Second, we formalize the post-softmax mass cliff and demonstrate theoretically that strictly cumulative coverage thresholds accumulate O(n) background noise at long contexts. CRISP navigates this via a sink-aware threshold grounded in the noise floor. Empirically, across InfiniteBench, RULER and LongBench on two model families, CRISP is the strongest sparse method overall and matches or exceeds exact dense attention on retrieval-heavy benchmarks, recovering up to +28.0 pp on retrieval tasks over baselines and achieving up to a 5.30x attention speedup at 512k tokens, driven primarily by our O(n) noise elimination during selection while preserving structural integrity.

BlockMGARD: Accelerating Adaptive Scientific Data Reduction with Region-of-Interest Error Control on GPUs

The growing scale of scientific data makes lossy compression essential for reducing data volume under controllable error. Transformation-based compressors using multilevel decomposition, such as MGARD, achieve strong compression ratios but map poorly to GPU architectures. We propose BlockMGARD, an adaptive, Region-of-Interest (ROI)-supported GPU lossy compressor, with four contributions: (1) an In-cache Block decomposition leveraging GPU on-chip memory and constant lookup tables to accelerate decomposition; (2) a hybrid hierarchy combining In-cache Block and global decomposition to balance speed and compression ratio; (3) an end-to-end pipeline with fine-grained ROI error control for feature preservation; and (4) an evaluation against state-of-the-art methods on five real-world datasets. Compared to MGARD-X, BlockMGARD achieves up to 4.2x and 9.1x higher compression and decompression throughput, and up to 8.63x higher compression ratio than uniform-tolerance baselines under ROI-aware error control. Across four GPUs, BlockMGARD achieves near-ideal linear scaling and up to 1.58x I/O cost reduction over MGARD-X.
