MAPS is a Memory-Aware Predictive Scheduling framework designed for disaggregated large language model (LLM) serving. It uses device-assisted speculative output length prediction and uncertainty-aware calibration to establish safe output-length upper bounds, which inform a hierarchical global-local scheduling strategy that reduces queue buildup and head-of-line blocking. Experiments on real-world workloads and two LLMs demonstrate that MAPS lowers average end-to-end latency by 42.6% and tail latency by up to 84.8% compared to three state-of-the-art systems.

HoliBench is a modular benchmarking and deployment toolkit that jointly measures accuracy, latency, and energy for foundation models across a wide range of devices, from single-board computers to GPU servers. It provides a platform abstraction layer that calibrates cross-device measurements and supports multiple model modalities, inference engines, and quantization levels. Using HoliBench, the authors evaluated 20 models on 7 device types, revealing tradeoffs such as limited latency gains from quantization on low‑precision hardware and diminishing accuracy returns relative to energy consumption, while also showing that single-model profiles can predict multi-model pipeline performance within a few percent.
