Large Language Models (LLMs) have been widely deployed in a variety of applications, and the context length is rapidly increasing to handle tasks such as long-document QA and complex logical reasoning. However, long context poses significant challenges for inference efficiency, including high memory costs of key-value (KV) cache and increased latency due to extensive memory accesses. Recent works have proposed compressing KV cache to approximate computation, but these methods either evict tokens permanently, never recalling them for later inference, or recall previous tokens at the granularity of pages divided by textual positions. Both approaches degrade the model accuracy and output quality. To achieve efficient and accurate recallable KV cache compression, we introduce ClusterKV, which recalls tokens at the granularity of semantic clusters. We design and implement efficient algorithms and systems for clustering, selection, indexing and caching. Experiment results show that ClusterKV attains negligible accuracy loss across various tasks with 32 k context lengths, using only a 1 k to 2 k KV cache budget, and achieves up to a $2 \times$ speedup in latency and a $2.5 \times$ improvement in decoding throughput. Compared to SoTA recallable KV compression methods, ClusterKV demonstrates higher model accuracy and output quality, while maintaining or exceeding inference efficiency.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has gained popularity for its efficiency and sparse Gaussian-based representation. However, 3DGS struggles to meet the real-time requirement of 90 frames per second (FPS) on resource-constrained mobile devices, achieving only 2 to 9 FPS. Existing accelerators focus on compute efficiency but overlook memory efficiency, leading to redundant DRAM traffic. We introduce STREAMINGGS, a fully streaming 3DGS algorithm-architecture co-design that achieves fine-grained pipelining and reduces DRAM traffic by transforming from a tile-centric rendering to a memory-centric rendering. Results show that our design achieves up to 45.7 × speedup and 62.9 × energy savings over mobile Ampere GPUs.

Disaggregation of hardware resources and integration of heterogeneous accelerators are two emerging trends in datacenters. Existing data systems focus on either disaggregated systems with homogeneous CPU processors or incorporation of heterogeneous accelerators within traditional monolithic servers. None can adequately address the challenges posed by systems that are both disaggregated and heterogeneous.

Automated behaviour recognition is a challenging problem and it has recently gained momentum in biological behaviour studies. This paper describes a framework for tracking and automatical classification of the behaviour of multiple freely interacting Drosophila Melanogaster (fruit flies) in a low resolution video. The movements of interacting flies are recorded by Fly world, a dedicated imaging platform. Each individual fly is identified in every frame and tracked over the complete video without losing its identity. The orientation of the flies is tracked as well, by defining their head and tail positions. From the obtained tracks, temporal features for every pair of fly are derived, allowing quantitative analysis of the fly behaviour. In order to derive information of the fly social activity, we concentrate on 2 specific behaviours: 'sniffing' and 'chasing'. Experimental results show that the classifier is able to classify the correct behaviour with an average overall accuracy of 95.46%.
