ROMER: Expert Replacement and Router Calibration for Robust MoE LLMs on Analog Compute-in-Memory Systems

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.11800v1 Announce Type: new Large language models (LLMs) with mixture-of-experts (MoE) architectures achieve remarkable scalability by sparsely activating a subset of experts per token, yet their frequent expert switching creates memory bandwidth bottlenecks that compute-in-memory (CIM) architectures are well-suited to mitigate. However, analog CIM systems suffer from inherent hardware imperfections that perturb d weights, and its negative impact on MoE-based LLMs in noisy CIM environments remains unexplored.
