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.
arXiv:2606. 06256v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the input length of large language model (LLM) serving continues to grow, the KV cache has become a dominant bottleneck in AI infrastructure.
arXiv:2606. 24506v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emerging LLM services increasingly host many sparse MoE models, yet most models receive sparse requests and remain cold.
arXiv:2607. 22614v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: RL-based LLM post-training increasingly disaggregates Rollout and Training across separate GPU resources, but static GPU partitioning suffers from severe pipeline bubbles under long-tail rollout latency.
arXiv:2607. 26566v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-image (T2I) workflows are increasingly deployed on serverless platforms because users often compose customized workflows and invoke them intermittently.
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.
arXiv:2606. 06302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-turn Large Language Model (LLM) serving is critical for consistent user experiences, yet the linear growth of the Key-Value (KV) cache imposes significant pressure on GPU memory and bandwidth.
arXiv:2607. 27090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly deployed with persistent personalized context, such as accumulated memory profiles or long conversation histories, that is shared across a user's many requests.
arXiv:2606. 06302v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-turn LLM serving accumulates dialogue history whose Key-Value (KV) cache grows with every turn and every user, quickly exceeding the model weights themselves and making memory -- not compute -- the binding constraint on throughput.
The paper presents a method for distributing large language model inference across multiple Intel AI PCs by splitting the model into pipeline shards, each pre‑compiled into an OpenVINO graph. Three key techniques—beam_idx Gather to enable GPU optimizations, speculative decoding on stateful models, and interleaved micro‑batching—allow a two‑node Llama 3.1 8B INT4 pipeline to serve two users at 1.79× the throughput of a single‑node model, while a four‑node deployment can run a 70B model that no single PC can hold. The authors provide code, benchmark logs, and reproduction scripts on GitHub.
arXiv:2606. 20537v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mainstream LLM serving systems reuse prefix work mainly through paged or radix key-value (KV) caches.
arXiv:2605. 09735v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Static-graph LLM decoders provide predictable launches, fixed tensor shapes, and low submission overhead, but online decoding exposes highly irregular KV-cache behavior: request lengths differ, EOS events arrive asynchronously, and logical histories fragment over time.
