New framework enhances MoE LLMs on noisy analog hardware

Researchers have introduced ROMER, a post-training calibration framework designed to enhance the robustness of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) Large Language Models (LLMs) when deployed on analog Compute-in-Memory (CIM) systems. This framework addresses hardware imperfections in CIM by replacing underutilized experts and recalibrating router decisions to maintain load balance and optimal routing under noisy conditions. Experiments show ROMER significantly reduces perplexity for models like DeepSeek-MoE, Qwen-MoE, and OLMoE when subjected to real-chip noise. AI

IMPACT Improves the viability of deploying LLMs on energy-efficient analog hardware by mitigating noise-induced performance degradation.

    ROMER: Expert Replacement and Router Calibration for Robust MoE LLMs on Analog Compute-in-Memory Systems

    Large language models (LLMs) with mixture-of-experts (MoE) architectures achieve remarkable scalability by sparsely activating a subset of experts per token, yet their frequent expert switching creates memory bandwidth bottlenecks that compute-in-memory (CIM) architectures are we…
