NeMo: A Neuron-Level Modularizing-While-Training Approach for Decomposing DNN Models
With the growing incorporation of deep neural network (DNN) models into modern software systems, the prohibitive construction costs have become a significant challenge. Model reuse has been widely applied to reduce training costs, but indiscriminately reusing entire models may incur significant inference overhead. Consequently, DNN modularization has gained attention, enabling module reuse by decomposing DNN models. The emerging modularizing-while-training (MwT) paradigm, which incorporates mod…

The column number for 3-modular matrices
An integer-valued matrix $\mathbf{A}$ is $Δ$-modular if each $\text{rank}(\mathbf{A}) \times \text{rank}(\mathbf{A})$ submatrix has determinant at most $Δ$ in absolute value. The column number problem is to determine the maximum number of pairwise non-parallel columns of a rank-$r$, $Δ$-modular matrix. Exact values for the column number are only known for $r \le 2$ or $Δ\le 2$. We prove that if $r$ is sufficiently large, then the maximum number of pairwise non-parallel columns of a rank-$r$…

Dyadically resolving trinomials for fast modular arithmetic
Residue number systems based on pairwise relatively prime moduli are a powerful tool for accelerating integer computations via the Chinese Remainder Theorem. We study a structured family of moduli of the form $2^n - 2^k + 1$, originally proposed for their efficient arithmetic and bit-level properties. These trinomial moduli support fast modular operations and exhibit scalable modular inverses. We investigate the problem of constructing large sets of pairwise relatively prime trinomial moduli …

Modular SAIL: dream or reality?
In order to truly benefit from RISC-V ISA modularity, the community has to address the issue of compositionality, going beyond modules at the specification level covering larger subsets of the RISC-V development flow including emulation, simulation and verification. In this paper we introduce modular SAIL, an experiment to inject compositionality into the SAIL-RISCV golden model. We show that it is, in principle, not difficult to adapt the SAIL-RISCV flow (and ideally the SAIL compiler itself) …

A Modular PyTheus Quantum Network Interpreter: Automated Analysis and Visualization of Optimized Quantum Architectures
We present a modular interpreter for PyTheus-optimized quantum networks that automatically analyzes and visualizes complex quantum architectures discovered through automated optimization. The interpreter addresses the critical challenge of understanding machine-designed quantum networks by providing robust algorithms for functional role identification, graph-theoretical analysis, and physically meaningful visualization across the major classes of PyTheus-generated networks. Our interpreter acce…

TransforMARS: Fault-Tolerant Self-Reconfiguration for Arbitrarily Shaped Modular Aerial Robot Systems
Modular Aerial Robot Systems (MARS) consist of multiple drone modules that are physically bound together to form a single structure for flight. Exploiting structural redundancy, MARS can be reconfigured into different formations to mitigate unit or rotor failures and maintain stable flight. Prior work on MARS self-reconfiguration has solely focused on maximizing controllability margins to tolerate a single rotor or unit fault for rectangular-shaped MARS. We propose TransforMARS, a general fault…

Modular robots assemble into bridges, shelters and tools for outdoor tasks
Modular robots built by Dartmouth researchers are finding their feet outdoors. Engineered to assemble into structures that best suit the task at hand, the robots are pieced together from cube-shaped robotic blocks that combine rigid rods and soft, stretchy strings whose tension can be adjusted to deform the blocks and control their shape.

A Robust Modular Quantum Processor
We explore the concept of redundancy of critical elements in a quantum computing architecture to circumvent disruption of quantum operations due to a failure of such an element, for example, from a catastrophic cosmic ray event. We illustrate this concept with reference to a recently proposed superconducting modular quantum architecture with a star-like configuration, which has a router at the center that enables superconducting qubit interactions across various modules. Regarding this router a…
