STEEL: Sparsity-Aware Fused Attention for Energy-Efficient Long-Sequence Inference on AMD’s XDNA™ NPU
THE growing integration of Transformer-based artificial intelligence (AI) agents into core operating system functions is a key driver in modern laptop systems-on-chip (SoCs) design. While enabling powerful capabilities, their inference incurs significant compute and data-movement overhead, making them highly energy-int...
