arXiv:2510. 01565v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion Transformer (DiT) models excel at generating high-quality images through iterative denoising steps, but serving them under strict Service Level Objectives (SLOs) is challenging due to their high computational cost, particularly at larger resolutions.

Text-to-image (T2I) workflows are increasingly deployed on serverless platforms because users often compose customized workflows and invoke them intermittently. Existing platforms typically deploy each workflow as an opaque GPU function, provisioning, placing, and scaling all constituent models in the workflow together.

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.

Scepsy is a serving system designed to efficiently schedule arbitrary multi‑LLM agentic workflows on GPU clusters. It leverages the observation that each LLM’s share of execution time remains relatively stable across requests, profiling LLMs under various parallelism levels to build an Aggregate LLM Pipeline that predicts throughput and latency. Using this predictor, Scepsy searches for optimal GPU allocations—balancing fractional GPU shares, tensor parallelism, and replica counts—and then heuristically places them on the cluster to reduce fragmentation and honor network topology, achieving up to 2.5× higher throughput and 1.0–3.3× lower latency compared to baseline approaches.
