arXiv:2606. 00516v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixed batching (MB)--interleaving prefill and decode in a single batch--has become the standard scheduling strategy for large language model (LLM) inference due to its efficiency in maximizing compute and memory utilization.

Diffusion language models (dLLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising a masked response and can commit multiple output positions per model invocation. Their bidirectional attention prevents exact autoregressive-style KV caching, since committing one position shifts the KV activations of all others.
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.

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. Non-uniform KV compression effectively preserves more information by considering the individual importance of each KV cache.
arXiv:2508. 06133v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study offline scheduling for large language model (LLM) serving under a fixed KV-cache memory budget, where requests have heterogeneous prompt (prefill) and response (decode) lengths.

Masked diffusion language models (dLLMs) promise faster text generation by denoising multiple tokens simultaneously, yet their real‑world serving behavior has been largely unexamined. Using LLaDA‑8B‑Instruct on a single NVIDIA H200 GPU, the study finds that request difficulty is discretized into 11 step‑count levels, short‑budget benchmarks underestimate serving variance, and only 24% of single‑request time is GPU computation, with batching mainly reducing CPU dispatch overhead. The authors also demonstrate that output quality remains stable across batch sizes and propose a batch‑timeout rule for synchronized batching under Poisson arrivals.
