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. 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. 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.
arXiv:2606. 20537v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mainstream LLM serving systems reuse prefix work mainly through paged or radix key-value (KV) caches.
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.
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. Non-uniform KV compression effectively preserves more information by considering the individual importance of each KV cache.
arXiv:2606. 24506v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emerging LLM services increasingly host many sparse MoE models, yet most models receive sparse requests and remain cold.
arXiv:2609.14507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Single-GPU long-context inference with Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models requires spilling the key-value cache (KVCache) to CPU memory. The spilled KV...
The paper introduces LM‑CXD, a CXL‑SSD design tailored for large language model (LLM) prefix caching. By aligning KV chunk management between the serving engine and the storage device, exposing NAND-to‑DRAM progress, and using device DRAM as a GPU‑accessible buffer, LM‑CXD reduces time‑to‑first‑token (TTFT) by up to 4× compared to a stock CXL‑SSD and brings performance within 1.5× of local DRAM across five LLM models. The approach also incorporates windowed prefetching and layer‑wise KV movement to hide NAND latency under limited device DRAM.

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.
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. Production memory systems (e.
Minima-KV introduces a retention‑preserving hierarchy for mixed‑format paged attention that keeps recent and protected anchor pages in FP8 while older pages are compressed into packed TQ3, allowing every live‑request page to remain addressable. The approach uses format‑specific kernels and a globally normalized online‑softmax merge to compute partial attention states, enabling direct heterogeneous decoding without a dense shadow cache. Experiments on Qwen3.6‑27B on a 96‑GB NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU show 3.50× compression over BF16 and 1.75× over FP8, with minimal impact on performance across long‑context benchmarks.
