ArchAgent v2: A Case Study with the Data Prefetching Championship

arXiv:2608. 09874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic artificial intelligence has shown great promise in automating algorithm design, but scaling similar techniques to computer microarchitecture discovery remains challenging due to vast search spaces, strict hardware budgets, and long simulation times.

Tangram: Unlocking Non-Uniform KV Cache Compression for Efficient Multi-turn LLM Serving

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.

AdaptiveSD A Stability-Aware, Runtime-Adaptive Speculative Decoding Framework with Multi-Policy Orchestration for CPU-Constrained LLM Inference

arXiv:2607. 03876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the rise of small quantized GGUF-based language models and their increasing use for on-device inference tasks, we have seen the growing need for an approach capable of reliably delivering these models at scale even under severe memory bandwidth constraints such as those imposed by pure CPU implementations.
