AB-Sparse: Sparse Attention with Adaptive Block Size for Accurate and Efficient Long-Context Inference
Di Liu, Ruitian Wang, Chen Chen +6
As large language models scale to longer contexts, loading the growing KV cache during attention computation becomes a critical bottleneck. Previous work has shown that attention c…
Justitia: Fair and Efficient Scheduling of Task-parallel LLM Agents with Selective Pampering
Mingyan Yang, Guanjie Wang, Manqi Luo +6
LLM agents, which often comprise parallel inference tasks, are commonly adopted to solve real-world problems. When serving such task-parallel LLM agents in shared GPU servers, the…
Flare: Anomaly Diagnostics for Divergent LLM Training in GPU Clusters of Thousand-Plus Scale
Weihao Cui, Ji Zhang, Han Zhao +5
The rapid proliferation of large language models has driven the need for efficient GPU training clusters. However, it is challenging due to the frequent occurrence of training anom…
Towards High-Goodput LLM Serving with Prefill-decode Multiplexing
Yukang Chen, Weihao Cui, Han Zhao +7
Large Language Model (LLM) serving must meet stringent Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for both the prefill and decode phases. Some existing solutions disaggregate the two phases,…
Towards Resource-Efficient Serverless LLM Inference with SLINFER
Chuhao Xu, Zijun Li, Quan Chen +3
The rise of LLMs has driven demand for private serverless deployments, characterized by moderate-sized models and infrequent requests. While existing serverless solutions follow ex…
Harli: SLO-Aware Co-location of LLM Inference and PEFT-based Finetuning on Model-as-a-Service Platforms
Ao Xu, Han Zhao, Weihao Cui +7
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed under the Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) paradigm. To meet stringent quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, existing LLM serving s…
