ARES's plain-English description of what this invention does and how to run it.
Spectral State Cache (SSC)
==========================
A pure Python realization of the Spectral State Cache invention.
This project demonstrates how to reduce the memory footprint of recurrent model states (like those in SSMs) by decomposing them into the frequency domain (via DFT), identifying low-energy coefficients, and offloading them to a slower, cheaper memory tier (System RAM), while retaining high-energy coefficients in fast memory (VRAM).
## Features
- Pure Python implementation (stdlib only, no numpy/torch required).
- Includes a custom naive DFT/IDFT implementation for spectral analysis.
- Simulates GPU/CPU memory allocation strategies.
- Demonstrates state fidelity loss trade-offs.
## Usage
Run the demonstration:
```bash
python run_demo.py
```
The demo will:
1. Generate a synthetic recurrent state vector.
2. Transform it to the frequency domain.
3. Apply the SSC strategy (offloading 80% of low-energy coefficients).
4. Reconstruct the state and calculate the Mean Squared Error (MSE).
## Invention Concept
Standard SSMs maintain full state vectors in high-bandwidth memory (VRAM). SSC leverages the sparsity of information in the frequency domain, allowing significant memory offloading with minimal degradation of model fidelity.
