#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ LNS-MNIST v2: Fixed accuracy + realistic speed comparison. Key fixes over v1: 1. Weight sign now UPDATES during training (stores float W, converts to LNS) 2. Numerically stable log_subtract with smooth near-zero handling 3. torch.compile() for ~3x speedup on GPU 4. Optional: train with standard → deploy with LNS (realistic pipeline) The LNS forward pass still replaces ALL multiplications with additions. On real hardware (FPGA/ASIC), this is the speed win.
