Install

pip install bitlinear_pytorch

Usage

import torch
from bitlinear_pytorch import BitLinear, replace_linear_with_bitlinear

class TinyMLP(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(TinyMLP, self).__init__()

        self.layers = nn.Sequential(
            nn.Linear(784, 256),
            nn.ReLU(),
            nn.Linear(256, 128),
            nn.ReLU(),
            nn.Linear(128, 10),
        )

    def forward(self, x):
        return self.layers(x)

model = TinyMLP()
replace_linear_with_bitlinear(model)

# or use BitLinear directly
bitlinear = BitLinear(784, 256)

TODO

• Implement base BitLinear layer
• Add example usage
• Implement memory efficient weight encoding/decoding
• Implement Fast Inference (CUDA/CPU/VHDL)
