Data Driven Optimization of GPU efficiency for Distributed LLM-Adapter Serving

arXiv:2602. 24044v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) adapters enable low-cost model specialization, but introduce complex caching and scheduling challenges in distributed serving systems where hundreds of adapters must be hosted concurrently.

PipeLive: Efficient Live In-place Pipeline Parallelism Reconfiguration for Dynamic LLM Serving

PipeLive introduces a method for live, in‑place reconfiguration of pipeline parallelism in large language model serving. By redesigning the KV cache layout and extending PageAttention, it enables dynamic resizing of the cache without interrupting inference. The system also uses an incremental KV patching mechanism to keep KV states consistent during reconfiguration, achieving significant reductions in reconfiguration time and improvements in latency metrics.

Scepsy: Serving Agentic Workflows Using Aggregate LLM Pipelines

Scepsy is a serving system designed to efficiently schedule arbitrary multi‑LLM agentic workflows on GPU clusters. It leverages the observation that each LLM’s share of execution time remains relatively stable across requests, profiling LLMs under various parallelism levels to build an Aggregate LLM Pipeline that predicts throughput and latency. Using this predictor, Scepsy searches for optimal GPU allocations—balancing fractional GPU shares, tensor parallelism, and replica counts—and then heuristically places them on the cluster to reduce fragmentation and honor network topology, achieving up to 2.5× higher throughput and 1.0–3.3× lower latency compared to baseline approaches.

Token Latency Fairness: Performance Isolation for Multi-Tenant LLM Serving

The paper introduces FairInference, a system that guarantees token-level latency isolation for well-behaved clients in multi-tenant LLM serving. It provides a δ-token fairness guarantee, ensuring that a token generated in isolation within time d will be produced within d + δ in a shared environment. The approach enforces per-token deadlines, bounds GPU compute sharing delays, and accounts for shared KV cache overhead, leading to reduced latency spikes and higher overall throughput compared to existing LLM serving systems.
