Prism: Cost-Efficient Multi-LLM Serving via GPU Memory Ballooning

arXiv:2505. 04021v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inference providers must maintain availability for many LLMs, including low-volume but essential models, making resource efficiency increasingly important as token prices fall.

PrefixBench-H100: Characterizing Prefix Reuse and Time-to-First-Token in H100 LLM Serving

PrefixBench-H100 is a reproducible benchmark that evaluates how reusing prompt prefixes affects LLM serving performance on NVIDIA H100 GPUs. It tests two popular runtimes (vLLM and TensorRT-LLM) across varied workloads, measuring metrics such as time-to-first-token, latency, throughput, cache hits, and GPU memory usage. The study identifies when prefix reuse significantly reduces first‑token latency and when cache pressure diminishes those gains, noting that cache effectiveness is largely unaffected by concurrency or output length, while differences arise mainly in scheduling.

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.

AgentPerfBench: A Benchmarking and Evaluation Suite for Inference Performance of Agentic LLMs

AgentPerfBench is a new benchmarking suite designed to evaluate the inference performance of agentic large language models (LLMs) that handle multi‑turn, tool‑using, and context‑expanding tasks. It builds on real traces from agentic benchmarks such as SWE‑Bench and TerminalBench, and generates synthetic profiles that reflect realistic input/output lengths and turn counts. The suite also provides kernel‑level Nsight Compute traces and a multi‑dimensional roofline model to identify hardware bottlenecks and quantify the gap between traditional chat benchmarks and agentic workloads.
