A new general-purpose memory compression technology called Ziptilion, developed by ZeroPoint, can increase the effective capacity and bandwidth of the available physical memory by around "2-3x".

If Google’s AI researchers had a sense of humor, they would have called TurboQuant, the new, ultra-efficient AI memory compression algorithm announced Tuesday, “Pied Piper” — or, at least that’s what ...

Until now, compression algorithms such as the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) have been implemented in software. This provided acceptable compression performance in many older systems. But with today's ...

Forward-looking: It's no secret that generative AI demands staggering computational power and memory bandwidth, making it a costly endeavor that only the wealthiest players can afford to compete in.

Google researchers have proposed TurboQuant, a method for compressing the key-value caches that large language models rely on during inference. In a preprint, the team reports up to six times lower KV ...

Google published a research blog post on Tuesday about a new compression algorithm for AI models. Within hours, memory stocks were falling. Micron dropped 3 per cent, Western Digital lost 4.7 per cent ...

With people on the internet insisting that M1 Macs run well with minimal RAM (and the standard configs being minimal), I was wondering if anyone has a detailed explanation on how memory compression on ...
