  "summary": "Non-linear functions are an important class of operations in modern large language models. However, chip vendors building for AI have so far relied on traditional vector or scalar processing units for non-linear functions. The performance of these units has not kept pace with matrix multiplication units (MMUs), which can be found in both high-performance and edge-computing devices from almost…",
