Aperon Technical Report: Hierarchical No-Pointer Tangent-Local Search for High-Dimensional Approximate Nearest Neighbors

arXiv:2606.08813v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present HNTL (Hierarchical No-pointer Tangent-Local), the core vector indexing and candidate generation framework of the Aperon vector memory system. Proximity graphs (e.g., HNSW) incur a heavy pointer tax in memory overhead and induce irregular memory accesses that stall CPU pipelines. HNTL resolves this by partitioning the high-dimensional space into local, coherent grains, representing vectors as low-dimensional coordinates on local...

CHIMERA: A Flexible and Scalable 3.1 TOPS/W AI-MCU with Transformer Accelerator and 563 Gb/s Shared-L2 Memory Subsystem with QoS Guarantees

arXiv:2606.02358v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Chimera, a flexible and scalable Microcontroller Unit (MCU) designed to accelerate real-time inference of rapidly evolving transformer-based models at the ultra-low-power edge (hundred of mW). The chip, implemented in 22 nm FDX technology, integrates a transformer accelerator tightly coupled within a compute cluster featuring nine general-purpose RV32IMA cores. Scalability extends to the memory hierarchy through a novel L2 memory...

French slavery law repealed: 'Now we can start talking about reparations,' historian says

Now that France has finally repealed the so-called Code Noir or Black Code, experts are urging the country to also consider the issue of reparations. The Code Noir was the law that effectively regulated slavery by making people like property, notably in the French colonies – enabling people to be worked, beaten, sold, raped and even killed. It was only repealed last week, even though France abolished slavery back in 1848.
