NOSA: Native and Offloadable Sparse Attention
Yuxiang Huang, Pengjie Wang, Jicheng Han +9
Decoding throughput improvements from larger inference batches are limited by GPU memory, which is largely consumed by the key-value (KV) cache. Prior training-free KV cache offloa…
InfLLM-V2: Dense-Sparse Switchable Attention for Seamless Short-to-Long Adaptation
Weilin Zhao, Zihan Zhou, Zhou Su +10
Long-sequence processing is a critical capability for modern large language models. However, the self-attention mechanism in the standard Transformer architecture faces severe comp…
FR-Spec: Accelerating Large-Vocabulary Language Models via Frequency-Ranked Speculative Sampling
Weilin Zhao, Tengyu Pan, Xu Han +9
Speculative sampling has emerged as an important technique for accelerating the auto-regressive generation process of large language models (LLMs) by utilizing a draft-then-verify…
APB: Accelerating Distributed Long-Context Inference by Passing Compressed Context Blocks across GPUs
Yuxiang Huang, Mingye Li, Xu Han +7
While long-context inference is crucial for advancing large language model (LLM) applications, its prefill speed remains a significant bottleneck. Current approaches, including seq…
