Title: When Good Enough Is Optimal: Multiplication-Only Matrix Inversion Approximation for Quantized Gated DeltaNet
Abstract:
arXiv:2606.06034v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Matrix inversion in chunk-wise parallel linear attention is a major bottleneck for long-context modeling, particularly on NPUs, where forward-substitution-based methods exhibit limited parallelism and poor hardware utilization. We propose a fast, Matrix Multiplication (MatMul)-based algorithm tailored for strictly lower-triangular matrices arising in chunk-wise linear attention. Motivated by the rapid growth of Neumann-series terms and the diagon
