§2 platform:
- Accuracy promoted from \paragraph to \subsection (sec:accuracy);
it sits at the same heading level as Why / Device / Latency / HW
config and so reads as a first-class component of the platform
description rather than a tail-end footnote.
- Three architecture diagrams (SIP, CUBE, PE) collapsed into one
figure* using subcaption: Fig.~\ref{fig:hw-arch}(a) SIP and (b)
CUBE side-by-side on row 1, (c) PE wide on row 2, total height
capped at ~40% of the page. Subfigure cross-references rewritten
to Fig.~ref{fig:hw-arch}\subref{...} in the body text. main.tex
now pulls in the subcaption package.
- Table 1 (modeled hardware configuration) promoted to table*
(two-column / full page width) and the row layout rewritten as a
4-column tabular so Hierarchy + PE + Command-issue sit on the
left and Memory + Interconnect sit on the right. The previous
single-column rendering was getting cut at the right edge of the
printed column.
§6 GQA:
- Removed the historical four-panel headline table (tab:gqa), the
two figures (fig:gqa-lat, fig:gqa-break), and the prose paragraph
that cited their per-panel numbers. Reason: the underlying
milestone-gqa-headline bench has been simplified in collaborator
commit 65c365f ("drop misleading single_user_/multi_user_
panels") and no longer reproduces that data, so the section was
left referencing a dataset the current bench cannot regenerate.
- The previously-added 4-cases long-context decode comparison is
now §6's only Results subsection, retitled to
"Results: long-context decode and parallelism strategies".
The headline GQA result that survives into the paper is therefore
the parallelism trade-off study (Case 4 / Cube-SP × PE-SP at 34 us
buying an 8x KV-memory reduction over the latency leaders).
