The paper introduces BASP, a batch‑aware sequence parallelism method that partitions GPUs into disjoint groups based on micro‑batch size to reduce all‑to‑all communication. By localizing communication, BASP improves training efficiency for long‑context LLMs. Experiments on NVIDIA A100 clusters show up to 1.17‑1.31× faster end‑to‑end training on Llama and Qwen models while maintaining the same accuracy and memory usage.

arXiv:2605. 08696v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Over the last two decades, language modeling has experienced a shift from the use of predominantly recurrent architectures that process tokens sequentially during training and inference to non-recurrent models that process sequence elements in parallel during training, which results in greater training efficiency and stability at the expense of lower inference throughput.

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.
