SnapStream: Efficient Long Sequence Decoding on Dataflow Accelerators
Jonathan Li, Nasim Farahini, Evgenii Iuliugin +19
The proliferation of 100B+ parameter Large Language Models (LLMs) with 100k+ context length support have resulted in increasing demands for on-chip memory to support large KV cache…
Agentic Context Engineering: Evolving Contexts for Self-Improving Language Models
Qizheng Zhang, Changran Hu, Shubhangi Upasani +10
Large language model (LLM) applications such as agents and domain-specific reasoning increasingly rely on context adaptation: modifying inputs with instructions, strategies, or evi…
Test-Time Adaptation via Many-Shot Prompting: Benefits, Limits, and Pitfalls
Shubhangi Upasani, Chen Wu, Jay Rainton +4
Test-time adaptation enables large language models (LLMs) to modify their behavior at inference without updating model parameters. A common approach is many-shot prompting, where l…
Cross-Family Speculative Prefill: Training-Free Long-Context Compression with Small Draft Models
Shubhangi Upasani, Ravi Shanker Raju, Bo Li +5
Prompt length is a major bottleneck in agentic large language model (LLM) workloads, where repeated inference steps and multi-call loops incur substantial prefill cost. Recent work…
Adaptive Multi-Objective Tiered Storage Configuration for KV Cache in LLM Service
Xianzhe Zheng, Zhengheng Wang, Ruiyan Ma +17
The memory-for-computation paradigm of KV caching is essential for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference service, but limited GPU high-bandwidth memory (HBM) capacity m…
LLMs Know What to Drop: Self-Attention Guided KV Cache Eviction for Efficient Long-Context Inference
Guangtao Wang, Shubhangi Upasani, Chen Wu +5
Efficient long-context inference is critical as large language models (LLMs) adopt context windows of ranging from 128K to 1M tokens. However, the growing key-value (KV) cache and…
