Unstructured weight #sparsity made practical.
50% unstructured weight sparsity was considered too low for real GPU speed up without specific hardware support (like @cerebras).
With @bozavlado we built MACKO-SpMV - a new matrix format + SpMV kernel to change that. π§΅
Our research group at the University of Zurich (Switzerland) is seeking a PhD candidate in intersection of theory and practice in areas such as distributed optimization, federated learning, machine learning, privacy, or unlearning.
