KGCache: Amortized Subgraph Retrieval for KG Reasoning with LLMs

arXiv:2608. 07954v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can answer knowledge-intensive questions more reliably when they are grounded with knowledge graphs, but systems such as Think-on-Graph and Reasoning-on-Graph repeatedly query the same graph neighborhoods across different questions.

QCFuse: Query-Aware Cache Fusion via Compressed View for Efficient RAG Serving

arXiv:2606. 05875v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves large language model (LLM) answer quality by grounding generation in external evidence, but processing retrieved contexts makes the prefill stage a dominant serving cost.

TreeHop: Efficient Embedding-Level Query Rewriter

arXiv:2504. 20114v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems face significant challenges in multi-hop question answering (MHQA), where complex queries require synthesizing information across multiple document chunks.

Efficient Iterative Retrieval with Heterogeneous Batching

Orthrus is a serving system that performs heterogeneous batching of embedding and generative models within a single inference loop. It uses chunked embedding with incremental pooling and workload‑aware batch composition to unify conflicting computational patterns. Experiments on four A100 GPUs show that Orthrus improves throughput by 1.28×–4.52× and reduces p99 latency by up to 55.8% compared to baseline deployments.

QCFuse: Query-Aware Cache Fusion via Compressed View for Efficient RAG Serving

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves large language model (LLM) answer quality by grounding generation in external evidence, but processing retrieved contexts makes the prefill stage a dominant serving cost. RAG cache fusion reduces this cost by reusing precomputed key-value (KV) caches for retrieved chunks and selectively recomputing tokens under the current prompt.

DataKernelBench: Can LLMs Optimize Database Queries on GPUs?

DataKernelBench evaluates whether large language models (LLMs) can optimize database queries for GPU execution. The benchmark translates SQL into PyTorch TorchPlan programs and tests LLMs on optimizing core tensor snippets or full queries in CUDA or Triton, using execution-guided repair. On TPC‑H SF10 with an H100 GPU, the best full‑query CUDA configuration outperforms torch.compile by 2.11×, and extending TorchPlan with Dask‑cuDF enables a 2.54× speedup on TPC‑H SF100 across four H100 GPUs.
