WarpLDA: a Cache Efficient O(1) Algorithm for Latent Dirichlet Allocation

Summary: WarpLDA is a cache-aware O(1) per-token LDA that analyzes per-document memory access to maximize L3 cache locality. Achieves 5–15× speedups over LightLDA with 11B tokens/s throughput, enabling a million topics on 639M documents in five hours. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
