NVLLM moves feed-forward computation into stacked NAND
NVLLM wafer-stacks 3D NAND with CMOS compute, ECC, and buffering so feed-forward operations can execute on raw NAND reads while attention remains on CMOS and DRAM.
Why it matters
It is a peer-reviewed NAND-centric alternative that exposes a different answer to HBF's data-movement problem: compute inside the flash stack rather than stream all weights to the accelerator.
