ARES's plain-English description of what this invention does and how to run it.
# Student Hypothesis: SSM + Cache Co-design
This invention implements a comparative benchmark between a standard **Quadratic Attention** mechanism and a **Linear SSM (State Space Model)** mechanism (Mamba-style).
## Hypothesis
Standard Transformer attention mechanisms have quadratic complexity O(N^2). By substituting attention with a linear-complexity SSM and leveraging dynamic precision (FP16), we achieve significant VRAM reduction.
## Methodology
1. **Baseline**: Standard Multi-Head Attention in FP16.
2. **ARES (Innovation)**: Linear Recurrent SSM with State Caching in FP16.
The benchmark measures VRAM usage and throughput for a sequence length of 4096 tokens.
## Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- PyTorch (Local CPU or CUDA)
## Execution
Run the demo:
```bash
python run_demo.py
```
Expected output includes VRAM usage stats and a final success message.
