The Zero-Multiplication Revolution: Why 1.58-Bit Ternary Computing and Pure Additive Silicon Will Break the GPU Monopoly
A first-principles mathematical and physical dissection of 1.58-bit ternary neural architectures: how replacing floating-point multiply-accumulate (MAC) units with pure integer addition shatters the memory bandwidth wall, slashes thermodynamic dissipation by two orders of magnitude, and dissolves the GPU hardware monopoly.
