arXiv:2603. 16428v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) has become essential for domain adaptation, but its memory-intensive property exceeds the capabilities of most GPUs.

PipeLive introduces a method for live, in‑place reconfiguration of pipeline parallelism in large language model serving. By redesigning the KV cache layout and extending PageAttention, it enables dynamic resizing of the cache without interrupting inference. The system also uses an incremental KV patching mechanism to keep KV states consistent during reconfiguration, achieving significant reductions in reconfiguration time and improvements in latency metrics.

The paper proposes a simple technique of chunking workloads into smaller parts that alternate between compute-intensive and memory-bound operations to smooth power and temperature spikes in GPU systems. By doing so, it prevents throttling, leading to faster wall-clock times and lower total energy consumption. Experiments on a DGX Spark show up to 2% performance and energy gains, while similar benefits, though smaller, are observed on multi‑GPU servers.

arXiv:2606. 06302v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-turn LLM serving accumulates dialogue history whose Key-Value (KV) cache grows with every turn and every user, quickly exceeding the model weights themselves and making memory -- not compute -- the binding constraint on throughput.

State-of-the-art large language model (LLM) training takes tens of thousands of graphics processing units (GPUs) for months and encounters failures across the software and hardware stack. Existing fault-tolerance mechanisms either impose non-trivial overhead during failure-free execution or suffer from prolonged recovery latency, particularly under scenarios where a small subset of compute nodes experience permanent failures.
arXiv:2511. 04791v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern LLM serving systems must sustain high throughput while meeting strict latency SLOs across two distinct inference phases: compute-intensive prefill and memory-bound decode phases.
