How Far Can Disaggregation Go? A Design-Space Exploration of Attention-FFN Disaggregation for Efficient MoE LLM Serving
Hanjiang Wu, Abhimanyu Rajeshkumar Bambhaniya, Sarbartha Banerjee +9
Modern large language model (LLM) inference has progressively disaggregated to keep pace with growing model sizes and tight TTFT and TPOT service-level objectives: from chunked-pre…
Spark Transformer: Reactivating Sparsity in FFN and Attention
Chong You, Kan Wu, Zhipeng Jia +16
The discovery of the lazy neuron phenomenon in trained Transformers, where the vast majority of neurons in their feed-forward networks (FFN) are inactive for each token, has spurre…
The Journey Matters: Average Parameter Count over Pre-training Unifies Sparse and Dense Scaling Laws
Tian Jin, Ahmed Imtiaz Humayun, Utku Evci +4
Pruning eliminates unnecessary parameters in neural networks; it offers a promising solution to the growing computational demands of large language models (LLMs). While many focus…
