Splitting Sandwiches Unevenly via Unique Sink Orientations and Rainbow Arrangements

Authors: Michaela Borzechowski, Sebastian Haslebacher, Hung P. Hoang, Patrick Schnider, and Simon Weber

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 367, 42nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026)


Abstract
The famous Ham-Sandwich theorem states that any d point sets in ℝ^d can be simultaneously bisected by a single hyperplane. The α-Ham-Sandwich theorem gives a sufficient condition for the existence of biased cuts, i.e., hyperplanes that do not cut off half but some prescribed fraction of each point set. We give two new proofs for this theorem. The first proof is completely combinatorial and highlights a strong connection between the α-Ham-Sandwich theorem and Unique Sink Orientations of grids. The second proof uses point-hyperplane duality and the Poincaré-Miranda theorem and allows us to generalize the result to and beyond oriented matroids. For this we introduce a new concept of rainbow arrangements, generalizing colored pseudo-hyperplane arrangements. Along the way, we also show that the realizability problem for rainbow arrangements is ∃ℝ-complete, which also implies that the realizability problem for grid Unique Sink Orientations is ∃ℝ-complete.

Accelerator-Driven Data Arrangement to Minimize Transformers Run-Time on Multi-Core Architectures

Authors: Alireza Amirshahi, Giovanni Ansaloni, and David Atienza

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 116, 15th Workshop on Parallel Programming and Run-Time Management Techniques for Many-Core Architectures and 13th Workshop on Design Tools and Architectures for Multicore Embedded Computing Platforms (PARMA-DITAM 2024)


Abstract
The increasing complexity of transformer models in artificial intelligence expands their computational costs, memory usage, and energy consumption. Hardware acceleration tackles the ensuing challenges by designing processors and accelerators tailored for transformer models, supporting their computation hotspots with high efficiency. However, memory bandwidth can hinder improvements in hardware accelerators. Against this backdrop, in this paper we propose a novel memory arrangement strategy, governed by the hardware accelerator’s kernel size, which effectively minimizes off-chip data access. This arrangement is particularly beneficial for end-to-end transformer model inference, where most of the computation is based on general matrix multiplication (GEMM) operations. Additionally, we address the overhead of non-GEMM operations in transformer models within the scope of this memory data arrangement. Our study explores the implementation and effectiveness of the proposed accelerator-driven data arrangement approach in both single- and multi-core systems. Our evaluation demonstrates that our approach can achieve up to a 2.7x speed increase when executing inferences employing state-of-the-art transformers.

Modeling Power Consumption and Temperature in TLM Models

Authors: Matthieu Moy, Claude Helmstetter, Tayeb Bouhadiba, and Florence Maraninchi

Published in: LITES, Volume 3, Issue 1 (2016). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 3, Issue 1


Abstract
Many techniques and tools exist to estimate the power consumption and the temperature map of a chip. These tools help the hardware designers develop power efficient chips in the presence of temperature constraints. For this task, the application can be ignored or at least abstracted by some high level scenarios; at this stage, the actual embedded software is generally not available yet.However, after the hardware is defined, the embedded software can still have a significant influence on the power consumption; i.e., two implementations of the same application can consume more or less power. Moreover, the actual software power manager ensuring the temperature constraints, usually by acting dynamically on the voltage and frequency, must itself be validated. Validating such power management policy requires a model of both actuators and sensors, hence a closed-loop simulation of the functional model with a non-functional one.In this paper, we present and compare several tools to simulate the power and thermal behavior of a chip together with its functionality. We explore several levels of abstraction and study the impact on the precision of the analysis.

Thermal Characterization and Thermal Management in Processor-Based Systems

Authors: José Luis Ayala, Anya Apavatjrut, David Atienza, Marisa López-Vallejo, and Carlos A. López-Barrio

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7041, Power-aware Computing Systems (2007)


Abstract
The register file is one of the hottest devices in processor-based systems. Leakage reduction techniques and DTM mechanisms require a thermal characterization of the hardware. This paper presents a thermal model to analyze the temperature evolution in the shared register files found on VLIW systems. The use of this model allows the analysis of several factors that have an strong impact on the heat transfer. The results obtained can be used in the design of temperature-aware compilers and place&route tools.
