KVStream: Adaptive Parallel Storage Management for KV Caching in Large-Scale LLM Serving

Avinash Maurya, Jaiaid Mobin, Jie Ye +3

Long-context LLM serving for agentic, coding, and document workloads reuses prefixes whose key-value (KV) cache outgrows GPU and host memory, putting storage I/O on the critical pa…
