Analog compute-in-memory (CIM) enables energy-efficient model acceleration, but its reliance on ADC-based readout, which directly quantizes noisy column currents, makes inference accuracy highly sensitive to analog read noise, active-row scaling, and ADC precision. In this paper, we present NOVA-CIM, a noise- and corre...

This work investigates diffusion inference using a noise model calibrated and validated against measurements collected from multiple physical CIM chips, and proposes ASSERT, a training-free sampler that uses higher stochasticity early and smoothly transitions to deterministic denoising.

A hierarchical token protection strategy is proposed that keeps sink tokens and a sliding recent-token window on a higher-precision digital path while processing the bulk KV cache on analog CIM, revealing that initial and recent tokens exhibit disproportionate vulnerability to hardware noise.
