Two papers accepted to ICS 2026

Two papers have been accepted to the ACM International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS) 2026. One paper proposed SumcheckPIM, an efficient HBM-based PIM architecture for sumcheck-based ZKPs. SumcheckPIM employs modular arithmetic units near banks and a Fiat-Shamir unit on a logic die. SumcheckPIM also introduces an efficient DRAM-aware folding mechanism to minimize bank conflicts in PIM operations. SumcheckPIM improves the performance of sumcheck protocols dramatically compared to GPU and CPU baselines. Another paper proposes ACE, an accuracy-aware compute engine for ternary LLM inferences. ACE integrates compact ternary decoding and scaling directly into the GEMM pipeline. An FPGA prototype of ACE demonstrates significant accuracy-aware efficiency gains compared to A100 and H100 baselines.
