LeanStream introduces a speculate‑and‑refine streaming framework that enables efficient on‑device inference of large language models by progressively refining computation, loading, and cache‑retention priorities using partial GPU results. This approach allows fine‑grained overlap between GPU execution and storage I/O, avoiding the trade‑offs of existing systems that serialize execution or incur redundant weight fetches. Implemented on mobile and embedded platforms, LeanStream reduces memory usage by 4.8× to 7.5× compared to prior work while improving token generation throughput by 1.6× to 2.1×.

The paper addresses the problem of non‑deterministic outputs from large language models (LLMs) when run on different GPU architectures, caused by floating‑point non‑associativity and hardware‑dependent kernel choices. It proposes a set of fixed‑configuration fused‑upcast GEMM kernels that load 16‑bit weights, upcast to FP32, and perform IEEE‑754 compliant reductions in a problem‑shape‑dependent order, ensuring identical linear‑layer outputs across NVIDIA Ampere, Ada, and Hopper GPUs. The new approach achieves 1.17–3.1× faster end‑to‑end performance than existing solutions and halves weight‑memory traffic while maintaining cross‑architecture reproducibility.

The paper introduces a partition-aware scheduling framework for mobile inference on heterogeneous platforms that combines mobile GPUs and multiple CPU core clusters. It jointly optimizes operator partitioning, device assignment, and execution order for static DAGs of operators, such as those in CNNs or vision transformers. An online iterative search approach decomposes large DAGs into stages, targets critical operators, and uses latency predictors to avoid exhaustive profiling, achieving near‑optimal latency with minimal scheduling overhead.
