arXiv:2607. 02574v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache has become a first-order memory object in LLM serving rather than a temporary per-request tensor.

arXiv:2607. 08057v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the rapid advancements of large language models (LLMs), LLM serving systems remain memory-intensive and costly.

arXiv:2608. 02901v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache is the primary memory bottleneck in long-context LLM inference.

arXiv:2606. 07571v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Key-value (KV) caching for shared prefixes is essential for high-throughput large language model (LLM) serving, but it faces critical challenges in emerging diffusion language models (DLMs).
By Younghun Go, Jaehoon Han, Changyong Shin, Chuk Yoo, Gyeongsik Yang
arXiv:2608. 08382v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM inference shifts to multi-tenant GPU clusters, co-batching improves throughput but obscures per-tenant usage and limits control.

arXiv:2605. 09735v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Static-graph LLM decoders provide predictable launches, fixed tensor shapes, and low submission overhead, but online decoding exposes highly irregular KV-cache behavior: request lengths differ, EOS events arrive asynchronously, and logical histories fragment over time.

arXiv:2606. 06302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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.

arXiv:2606. 17059v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prefix caching can reduce LLM inference latency by reusing KV caches across requests with shared prompts, but cluster-scale reuse is challenging because caches are partitioned across nodes.

arXiv:2607. 27600v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Key-value (KV) cache management through compression and eviction strategies has emerged as an important research direction in recent years.
By Stephen Gould, Anton van den Hengel
arXiv:2606. 06256v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the input length of large language model (LLM) serving continues to grow, the KV cache has become a dominant bottleneck in AI infrastructure.

arXiv:2607. 02525v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present PEEK, a lightweight scheduling and eviction framework for both online (streaming) and offline (batch) LLM serving; this paper focuses on the online regime.

arXiv:2607. 27090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly deployed with persistent personalized context, such as accumulated memory profiles or long conversation histories, that is shared across a user's many requests.
