Flash-dLLM is a training‑free inference acceleration framework that improves the speed and memory efficiency of Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs). It tackles GPU memory I/O bottlenecks by introducing an I/O‑aware fused KV‑cache kernel and then employs a draft‑and‑verify decoding strategy that uses the dLLM itself as both drafter and verifier. Experiments on mathematical reasoning and code‑generation tasks show Flash‑dLLM outperforms existing acceleration methods, achieving up to 11.0× speedups over the Elastic‑Cache baseline.

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.

The paper surveys memory‑centric compression techniques for large language models, framing long‑context handling as a memory‑management problem. It distinguishes compute‑active memory from compute‑inactive memory, and models operations such as writing, offloading, recall, and forgetting as state transitions within an information lifecycle. The authors propose a unified cost model and argue that future research should focus on dynamic, lifecycle‑aware memory management rather than static compression.
